Common Causes of Back Pain
Back pain can develop for many reasons. Some of the most common conditions we assess and treat include:
Disc-related injuries
Facet joint irritation
Muscle and ligament strain
Sciatica or nerve irritation
Chronic or persistent back pain
Postural or work-related back pain
Gym or lifting-related injuries
Back pain often develops due to a combination of factors, including movement habits, load tolerance, previous injuries and lifestyle demands. If your back pain has been ongoing for several months or continues to flare up despite rest or treatment, our chronic pain rehabilitation approach may also be relevant.
