Major Causes of Low Back Pain
As we age, most of us will experience some wear and tear to the discs and vertebrae that make up the structural components of our spines. Here are the most common things that can go wrong.
Joint and Nerve Problems
1. Spinal Arthritis is inflammation of the facet joints between the vertebrae, which can cause stiffness and pain.
2. Sciatica is characterized by pain that radiates down one or both legs. It may be caused by compression of the sciatic nerve.
Disc Problems
3. A Normal Disc consists of a soft, gelatinous interior surrounded by a tough, fibrous membrane, with no sign of trauma or illness.
4. A Degenerative Disc is a disc that is gradually wearing down and thinning over time, most likely due to the natural aging process.
5. A Bulging Disc is one that is shifting out of its normal radius, extending beyond the circumference of the vertebrae.
6. A Herniated Disc occurs when the inner material of the disc pushes through its outer membrane into the spinal canal.
Vertebra Problems
7. A Bone Spur occurs when the body builds more bone as a natural response to the age-related deterioration of vertebrae.
8. Spinal Stenosis refers to a narrowing of the spinal canal, typically as a result of bone spurs or joint enlargement.
9. Spondylolisthesis is a forward or backward slippage of one vertebrae relative to another, causing pressure on spinal nerves.
10. Osteoporosis is a disease marked by progressively decreasing bone. In the spine, this can lead to a compression fracture.
