Top 7 Causes of Back Pain and How Physiotherapy Can Help
Back pain is one of the most common health issues affecting people of all ages. Whether it's due to poor posture, injury, or lifestyle habits, back pain can disrupt your daily life. At SmartCare Physiotherapy, we focus on identifying the root cause and providing effective, long-term solutions.
Top 7 Causes of Back Pain
1. Poor Posture
Sitting for long hours with poor posture puts strain on your spine and muscles.
2. Muscle Strain
Overuse, heavy lifting, or sudden movements can strain back muscles.
3. Herniated Disc
A slipped disc can press on nerves, causing pain and discomfort.
4. Sedentary Lifestyle
Lack of physical activity weakens muscles and leads to stiffness.
5. Injury or Trauma
Accidents or falls can damage muscles, ligaments, or bones.
6. Obesity
Excess weight increases pressure on the spine.
7. Stress
Mental stress can cause muscle tension, especially in the lower back.
