Common Back Injuries We Treat
Back injuries are some of the most common injuries to occur in everyday life or at the workplace. Some of the most common causes of back pain include:
- Strains and sprains: Strains and sprains can be caused by lifting heavy objects improperly, twisting the back too far, or overexerting the muscles.
- Fractures: Fractures can occur due to trauma, such as a fall or car accident, or as a result of osteoporosis.
- Disc injuries: The discs in the spine can become damaged or herniated, leading to pain and discomfort.
- Sciatica: This condition is caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back through the buttocks and down the legs.
- Spinal stenosis: Spinal stenosis occurs when the spinal canal becomes narrowed, putting pressure on the nerves. This injury is common in older people from everyday wear and tear on the body.
