Top 5 Causes Of Back Pain By Ashley D. Wilson

Hello everyone! For this article, I decided to talk about the top 5 causes of back pain. Having pain in your back is very common and is also something that can completely ruin your day. While people often focus on how to relieve this, they also should focus on what caused their pains to begin with! If you are frequently dealing with these troubles, there is likely a cause for it. With this article, I am going to share my list of the top 5 causes of back pain,

1. An Injury

The top cause (at least from my experience) of the pain in your back is some type of injury. Did you try to lift something too heavy? Were you out playing sports? Did you take a major fall? All of these events can lead to pain in your back. If you find yourself having frequent pain and you are also frequently exercising or frequently lifting heavy objects, then there may be a connection!

2. Something Is Wrong

Another major cause of pain in your back is that something is wrong with your back. Perhaps there is a problem in your spine or some of your joints. You may also have muscle tension or a herniated disc. If you think any of this is the case, then you should go see a doctor as soon as possible.

3. Disease

If you are having frequent pain, another possibility is that you may have some type of disease. This could be a disease that has happened recently, or something that runs in your family. For instance, kidney stones can cause back pain. While this cause is a lot less common than the previous two, if you are having frequent pain, you should go talk to a doctor.

4. Depression/Anxiety

Believe it or not, it is possible for frequent depression or anxiety to cause pain in your upper or lower back. If you find yourself stressed, this can lead to your back becoming tense. This can then lead to the pain that you are experiencing. Like any other medical condition, if you feel you might be depressed, talk to a doctor!

5. Infections

This is rather rare, but there is the possibility that you pain may be caused by some type of infection. Like I said, it's not that common, but if you have some type of infection in your back muscles, this may be causing your pain. Like always, if your back pain lasts longer then a few days, talk to a doctor!

I hope you found this list of the top 5 causes of back pain helpful. Identifying the cause of your pain is a great step in making sure that you don't have to deal with back pain any time soon. Good luck!
