Understanding the Anatomy of Back Pain
The back is an intricate structure made up of vertebrae, discs, muscles, ligaments, and tendons that together provide strength, flexibility, and protection for the spinal cord. Over time, aging, physical strain, repetitive use, or genetic factors can damage any part of this system, leading to acute or chronic pain.
Back pain is the second most common reason for physician visits in the U.S., and approximately 70% to 85% of people will experience significant back pain at some point in their lives.
Types of Back Pain
Acute Back Pain:
- Sudden onset
- Often caused by muscle strains or ligament sprains
- Commonly described as sharp or severe
- Typically resolves within 2–6 weeks with conservative treatments like physical therapy, rest, or medication
Chronic Back Pain:
- Lasts 12 weeks or longer
- Often described as dull, aching, or burning
- Caused by gradual degeneration or long-standing mechanical issues in the spine
- May be more resistant to conservative treatment
Causes of Back Pain
Back pain can be mechanical, structural, inflammatory, or degenerative in nature. Common causes include:
- Herniated or Bulging Discs
- Degenerative Disc Disease
- Facet Joint Arthritis
- Spondylolisthesis
- Spinal Stenosis
- Fractures, including Osteoporotic Compression Fractures
- Congenital Spine Conditions (e.g., scoliosis, kyphosis)
- Infections or Tumors
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience back pain after trauma, or if you notice numbness, loss of bladder control, or difficulty moving your arms or legs.
