Understanding Back Pain: Top 5 Causes of Back Pain

Understanding Back pain is the first step to successfully treat it, website gives
the 5 top causes of back pain.

FLORIDA, \"Back Pain Relief Bed\" ( http://www.back-pain-relief-bed.com ) a site
specialized in back problems, has gathered a list of the top 5 causes of back pain.
As Jason Ward, manager of the site explains \"An aching back is a problem suffered by
more than 50% of American adults. According to the American Chiropractic
Association, it is estimated that over 80% of Americans will suffer from back pain
at some time in their life. Becoming familiar with the causes of back pain and their
subsequent treatment protocols can be of great help should you ever find yourself
suffering from back pain. While both men and women can develop back problems, there
are some causes that primarily affect women. Other groups susceptible to chronic
back pain include the elderly, athletes, the overweight and people with a genetic
disposition to back problems.\"

The primary causes of back pain are related to muscular sprains and strains, spinal
disc injuries and diseases which affect the joints, such as arthritis. Acute back
pain stems from a short term injury or strain and can be treated with rest and
readjustment. Chronic causes of back pain are generally more difficult to identify
and treat. While many of the symptoms are similar, identifying the underlying causes
is the key to finding effective treatment.

Coccydynia - Considered fairly rare among the causes of back pain, Coccydynia is a
localized pain that stems from the coccyx or tailbone. This condition can manifest
as the result of a fall, or from giving birth. Lower back pain caused by Coccydynia
is almost always aggravated by sitting.

Pregnancy-Related Back Pain - It is commonly known that pregnancy is one of the main
causes of back pain in women. The additional weight combined with birth related
hormones can result in moderate to severe back pain in pregnant women. The best
treatment for pregnancy-related back pain is exercise.

Osteoarthritis - One of the most well documented, but least understood causes of
back pain is degenerative arthritis of the spine. While most frequently seen in
elderly patients, Osteoarthritis can affect younger patients as well.

Muscle Strain - Arguably one of the most common causes, muscle strain can be the
result of stress, bad posture, repetitive activities or applying too much force to
the back muscles. Are typically treated with a combination of exercise and rest.

Herniated Disc - One of the most painful causes of back pain is a herniated disc.
When spinal cartilage is pushed up against the sensitive nerves in your back, the
result is a herniated or bulging disc. If the affected never is the Sciatic nerve
that runs down your spinal column, pain can extend down into your legs and feet.
