What Causes Lower Back Pain?

Determining the exact reason for back pain can sometimes become slightly tricky. It is crucial to consult an experienced medical practitioner, follow appropriate medical procedures, and make informed decisions regarding the treatment. Lower back pain may give rise to multiple symptoms. The symptoms may be mild or intense. They may be found in a small part of the body or over a wide area. Sometimes the pain is short-term, and on other occasions, it is prolonged. Some common causes of lower back pain are:
 

• Overuse, strain, or injury: Repeated activities such as heavy lifting, lifting from the ground, twisting the spine and placing an item overhead can cause lower back strain. They can even lead to injuries which can cause lower back pain. 
   

• Ageing: As we age, the spine becomes weaker and more prone to developing problems and suffering from injuries. General degeneration is a common cause of back pain among people between the ages of 30 and 50. 
   

• Herniated disc: A herniated disc will cause pain in your buttocks, thighs, calves and lower back. This is a common cause of lower back pain and can be addressed using physiotherapy. 
   

• Arthritis: Spinal arthritis can develop through wear and tear and affect the lower back. The cartilage between the joints breaks down and causes pain and inflammation. It might be more noticeable when you twist or bend your back. 
   

• Compression fractures: A compression fracture can be referred to as a break of a vertebra in the spine. This collapse is caused by a compression force. It can manifest in the form of sudden pain in the lower back. 
   

• Illness: Illnesses can affect your body in many ways, one of them being lower back pain. These include fibromyalgia, kidney stones, endometriosis, infections and more. 
   

• A spine issue you were born with: There can be numerous genetic causes of spinal pain. For instance, lumbar degenerative disc disease, a disc-related condition, is commonly inherited.
   

If the source of the pain is unknown, it will be challenging to find an efficacious solution and treat it permanently. To get reliable lower back pain treatment in NE Calgary, visit Northgate Physiotherapy, Chiropractic & Massage Therapy Centre. We will be happy to serve you.

 

How Is Lower Back Pain Diagnosed?

Our well-trained physiotherapists will examine your back and determine how easily you can sit, stand, walk, and lift your legs. We ask the patient to share the following significant details with us to assess their problem better:

• Duration of symptoms
• Functional limitations
• Aggravating and relieving factors
• Previous treatments
• General health history
• Family health history

The assessments help understand the origin of the pain, the extent to which your body can move before pain occurs, and the level of muscle spasms existing in your body. They also help us access appropriate diagnostic tests through your medical physician and proper treatment approaches. If we suspect a particular condition is a reason for your back pain, we suggest a few tests such as X-rays, CT Scans, blood tests, bone scans, and nerve studies.

Our Treatment Plan

After establishing the correct diagnosis, our physiotherapists develop a detailed and time-bound plan for your treatment. We follow transparent treatment procedures and keep you well informed at every stage of physiotherapy. We value your trust and confidence in our services. Our treatment plan can have one or more of the following:​

​

• Intramuscular stimulation or IMS: Relieves tight muscles along the spine and around it.
• Manual therapy: This is done to ease out stiff and rigid joints along the spine to help improve muscle movement.
• Soft tissue release and assisted stretching: It massages deep trigger points to relax tight muscles and stretches the muscles around the lower back and hips.
• Customized exercise prescription: We formulate an exercise plan, especially for your specific needs. Some of them need an expert’s supervision, while others can be administered independently at home. Exercise is vital to cure lower back pain. They help increase flexibility, strengthen muscles, and improve overall health.
