Back & Neck Pain
Back and neck pain are common conditions affecting people of all ages. These pains often arise from poor posture, repetitive stress, everyday habits, or acute injuries. Since the spine supports much of the body’s weight and enables movement, discomfort in these areas can significantly impair daily activities and quality of life. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent worsening symptoms and promote lasting relief.
Common Causes of Back & Neck Pain
Back and neck pain can result from various causes, including:
Muscle Strain – Overstretching or tearing of muscles from heavy lifting, poor posture, or sudden movements
Nerve Irritation and Radiculopathy – Compression or irritation of spinal nerves causing radiating pain, numbness, or weakness in the arms or legs
Degenerative Disc Disease and Bony Encroachment – Age-related wear and tear leading to narrowing of nerve spaces (spinal stenosis)
Herniated Discs – Bulging or rupture of spinal discs that press on nearby nerves
Arthritis – Inflammation or degeneration of spinal joints
Acute Injuries – Trauma from falls, accidents, or sudden impact
These conditions may cause localized or radiating pain, stiffness, numbness, tingling, weakness, and reduced range of motion.
