If you’re experiencing back pain that seems to linger indefinitely, you’re not alone. Many people find themselves caught in a cycle of discomfort that never seems to resolve. The underlying reasons for persistent back pain often stem from a combination of factors that can complicate recovery.

Key Causes of Chronic Back Pain:

Muscle Imbalances: Weakness in certain muscle groups, particularly the core, can lead to overcompensation in others, resulting in strain and pain. When your core muscles are not adequately supporting your spine, other muscles must work harder, leading to fatigue and discomfort.

Poor Posture: Slouching or sitting improperly can contribute to chronic back pain. When your posture is compromised, it places additional stress on your spine and surrounding muscles, which can lead to inflammation and ongoing pain. Poor posture is particularly common during long hours of desk work.

Spinal Misalignment: Misalignments in the spine can cause nerve compression and pain. If your spine is not properly aligned, it can lead to discomfort and mobility issues. This misalignment can be exacerbated by factors such as excess weight and poor ergonomics.

Nerve Compression: Conditions like herniated discs or spinal stenosis can compress nerves, leading to pain that radiates through the back and down the legs. This type of pain can be sharp, shooting, or tingling and often requires targeted treatment to address.

Overuse and Strain: Repeatedly engaging in activities that strain your back, whether it's lifting heavy objects or performing repetitive motions, can lead to chronic pain. These actions can cause microtrauma to the muscles and joints, resulting in lasting discomfort.

Excess Weight: Carrying extra weight adds pressure to the spine and joints, exacerbating existing pain and increasing the risk of injury. The added strain can lead to muscle fatigue, joint stress, and chronic discomfort.
