Back Pain Q&A

What is back pain?

Back pain is discomfort or stiffness that affects your muscles, joints, nerves, or spinal structures. It can range from a mild ache to sharp, persistent pain that limits movement and daily activities.

Back pain may develop suddenly or gradually and can affect the upper, middle, or lower back.

What causes back pain?

Back pain can come from everyday habits, physical changes in your body, or an injury or strain.

Common causes include:

Poor posture or prolonged sitting
Muscle strains from lifting, twisting, or overuse
Herniated or bulging discs
Arthritis or age-related spinal changes
Nerve irritation, such as sciatica

Stress and muscle tension can also worsen symptoms, making pain more persistent.

When does back pain need medical attention?

Some back pain improves on its own, but certain signs mean you should book an appointment at Sports Chiro & Rehab as soon as possible.

You may need an evaluation if your back pain:

Lasts longer than a few weeks or keeps returning
Gets worse instead of improving
Radiates into your leg or causes numbness or tingling
Leads to weakness or difficulty moving
Follows an injury, fall, or accident
Interferes with sleep, work, or daily activities

If your back pain is accompanied by fever, unexplained weight loss, or changes in bladder or bowel control, seek medical attention immediately.

How is back pain treated?

Back pain treatment depends on the cause, severity, and how long you’ve had symptoms. Many cases improve with conservative care focused on reducing inflammation, restoring movement, and strengthening the spine.

At Sports Chiro & Rehab, treatment options may include physical therapy, chiropractic care, guided exercises, posture correction, and pain management strategies. Lifestyle changes such as improving ergonomics, increasing physical activity, and managing stress can also support recovery.

For ongoing or complex cases, the team may recommend imaging or advanced treatments to create a more targeted care plan.
