What causes Back Pain?
There are many causes of back pain. Most causes are muskulo-skeletal, which means problems with muscles, joints and nerves. Often times these problems result from injury, overuse, poor posture, weakness of muscles, lack of motion, and lack of strength. All of these sources are a result of our lifestyle (the things we do and how we do them). It's very important to find what is causing the pain in the first place. For example we can recognize that slouching at your desk at work may be the cause of ones misaligned spine.
What Happens when it's left untreated?
It's common for people who experience back pain to wait for their symptoms to dissipate without seeking help. Waiting for the pain to go away instead of finding the cause of it can increase pain and damage other structures, worsening your condition. This why around 20% of those with acute lower back pain eventually have chronic back pain. If you want to avoid this it is important to receive an evaluation to locate the problem and find a solution to resolve your back pain.
"Waiting for back pain to go away on its own is like waiting for a cavity to go away without going to the dentist."
- Dr. Fowler
