Understanding back pain
Back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints, affecting people of all ages and lifestyles. It can range from a dull ache to sharp, debilitating pain, making daily activities like bending, lifting, or even sitting uncomfortable. Whether your back pain is caused by poor posture, injury, or a chronic condition, physiotherapy can provide effective relief and long term management.
At our physiotherapy clinic in Bramhall, Cheshire, we offer expert assessment and treatment for back pain, to help you regain movement, reduce pain, and prevent future issues.
Common causes of back pain
Back pain can arise from various factors, including:
- Poor posture: Sitting for prolonged periods, or improper alignment when standing or sleeping
- Muscle strains: Overuse, lifting heavy objects incorrectly, or sudden movements
- Herniated discs: When the soft tissue between the vertebrae pushes out, irritating nearby nerves
- Sciatica: Nerve pain radiating from the lower back down the legs
- Arthritis and degenerative conditions: Osteoarthritis and spinal degeneration causing stiffness and discomfort
- Stress and tension: Emotional stress can lead to muscle tightness and back pain
Types of back pain
The nature and location of your pain can indicate its cause, for example:
- Lower back pain is the most common type, often linked to posture, strain, or disc issues
- Upper and mid-back pain is usually related to muscular tension, posture, or spinal problems
- Sharp or shooting pain could be nerve related, such as sciatica or a pinched nerve
- Chronic, dull ache may indicate degenerative conditions or ongoing muscle tightness
