Back Pain

Understanding Back Pain and Its Underlying Causes

Back pain is a widespread condition that affects people of all ages and lifestyles, often arising from a combination of poor posture, sedentary routines, muscle imbalances, and degenerative spinal changes. Modern lifestyle habits such as prolonged sitting, lack of physical activity, stress, and improper lifting techniques contribute to muscular tension, spinal misalignment, and reduced mobility. Nutritional deficiencies, obesity, smoking, and chronic inflammation further exacerbate spinal degeneration, weakening the muscles and tissues that support the back. Over time, these factors can lead to conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, and persistent back stiffness, reducing the quality of life and restricting day-to-day functioning.

Slip Disc (PIVD) and Sciatica: Common Causes of Radiating Pain

A prolapsed or herniated disc (commonly known as slip disc or PIVD) occurs when the inner gel-like core of a spinal disc bulges out through its tough outer layer, pressing on adjacent nerves. This often leads to symptoms such as intense back pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms or legs, depending on the location of the disc. When the sciatic nerve is affected, it results in a condition called sciatica—characterized by a sharp, shooting pain that radiates from the lower back down the leg. Both PIVD and sciatica can significantly impair daily activities and worsen over time if left untreated. Factors like poor posture, heavy lifting, sudden trauma, and spinal degeneration are the primary triggers for these conditions.
