Back Pain Q & A

What is the structure of the back?

If your back is in pain, it’s helpful to understand the many components involved and how they interact. At the core of your back is your spine, which is made up of 33 vertebrae that stretch from your head to your pelvis. They’re divided into five sections:

  • Cervical spine (neck)
  • Thoracic spine (mid-back)
  • Lumbar spine (low back)
  • Sacrum
  • Coccyx (tailbone)

Several critical secondary players surround your spine including discs, muscles, ligament

s, and tendons. Together, all these components work to provide the foundation for your entire body, which means that back pain can have a widespread effect on your ability to function normally.

What are the primary causes of back pain?

The most common culprits behind back pain are:orders

  • Herniated or ruptured discs
  • Muscle strains or sprains
  • Osteoporosis
  • Scoliosis

These generalized conditions lead to back problems, such as:

  • Sciatica
  • Stenosis
  • Spondylolisthesis

Most back pain originates in your low back and involves nerve inflammation and irritation, which can lead to mild to severe back pain.
