Lower Back Pain:
Causes and Treatment
Lower back pain is a predominant problem among the people of
today’s modern societies. Among the age groups in these societies
it seems that it affects mostly young adults and middle-aged
people. This complaint is especially frequent among those who do
not exercise much and work in a chair most of the day and among
those who do heavy lifting quite frequently. In fact, most people
have at least one incident of back pain in their lives. The
underlying causes of back pain can vary and can be the result of
disease in the spine (cancer) or due to strain on the muscles.
Back pain resulting from cancer in the spine tends to occur in the
sacral or lumbar regions and can affect other locations in close
proximity and it should be checked out.
Backache Due to Injury
Your back might ache due to a physical injury. These include: 1) a
vertebral column compression fracture, 2) intervertebral disk
rupture, 3) intervertebral injury in a joint, 4) strain in the
lumbosacral region of the body, 5) vertebra process fractures, and
6) ligament and muscle back injuries.
Inflammatory Conditions that Cause Backache
Certain infections and diseases will cause inflammation in some
part of the back resulting in backache. They are 1) arthritis, 2)
Brucellosis, 3) muscle inflammation, 4) Anchylosing spondylitis,
5) Lumbago, 6) Fibrositis, 7) spinal Tuberculosis, and 8)
bacterial bone infection.
Backaches Due to One Being Off-balance
A normal body should be able to stand erect but certain conditions
cause the body to lean for extended periods of time in an
unnatural way creating an off-balance condition. This could be
because of 1) pregnancy, 2) large belly or pot belly, 3) one leg
shorter than the other, 4) hip joint diseases, and 5) a congenital
defect that caused an abnormal curvature in the spine.
Backaches Because of Spinal Tumors
Backaches can be caused by the following types of tumors: 1)
metastatic tumors occurring in other organs of the body such as
the kidneys, lungs, prostate, intestine, and others, or 2) bones
or spinal cord with a primary tumor.
Gynecological Conditions Causing Backache
Gynecological conditions can cause backache to include: 1) uterus
prolapse, 2) inflammatory diseases of the pelvis, 3)
endometriosis, 4) cancerous lesions in pelvic organs, 5)
post-childbirth, and 6) post-gynecological surgery.
Degenerative Diseases That Cause Backaches
The process of normal aging can bring on back problems such as
osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and intervertebral disc
degeneration.
Other Issues in the Body That Can Cause Backache
There can be any number of issues in the body that can create
backaches. Some of these include: 1) Pancreatitis, 2) prostate
cancer, 3) peptic ulcer, 4) pelvic organ inflammation, 5) biliary
stones, 6) ureteric stones, blockage of the aorta and iliac
arteries, and 8) renal stones.
