Factors that trigger Back Pain !!

There’s a saying in English, “All you are left with, is your own back”.  What if this back of yours is damaged by pain? Before taking medical help, why not be aware of the several factors that actually trigger it?
The back and spine are designed to provide strength and mobility to the body, protecting the highly sensitive spinal cord and nerve roots.

Factors that trigger Back Pain:
  1. Poor posture: Any type of prolonged poor posture like slouching over a computer keyboard, working with a hunched back, with time will increase the risk of developing back pain.
  2. Overweight: Excess weight increases stress specifically on the lower back, as well as on other joints. This is definitely an important factor for back pain.
  3. Lack of exercise:  Weak, static muscles and an inactive lifestyle, may lead to back pain.
  4. Ageing: Age acts as a crucial factor in affecting back pain. People over 30 or 40 years of age are at greater risk of back pain and disc-related disorders than young individuals. Over time, wear and tear on the spine may result in conditions like disc degeneration, spinal stenosis and severe back pain.
  5. Occupational hazards: Any job that requires repetitive bending or lifting is highly prone to produce back pain in that particular person. Work that requires long hours of standing without a break or sitting at a stretch in a chair also puts a person at greater risk of back pain.
  6. Smoking: People who smoke are more likely to develop back pain than those who don’t. Smoking keeps your body from delivering enough nutrients to the spinal disc.
  7. Genetics: It has been studied that certain types of spinal disorders like degenerative disc disease have a genetic component which is inherited by the patient through their ancestral roots.
  8. Pregnancy: A pregnant woman’s back is significantly stressed by carrying the baby. Hence back pain is more likely to occur in her than others.
