Back Pain Treatment in Henley

With 8 out of 10 people experiencing back pain at some point in their lives, here are some of the most frequent causes:

• Poor posture: Sitting or standing in a slouched and hunched position for prolonged periods can put strain on the muscles, ligaments and discs in the back.
• Muscle strains: Overexertion, lifting heavy objects or sudden movements can cause muscle strains in the back.
• Disc problems: Herniated or bulging discs can press on nerves in the back, causing pain.
• Arthritis: Inflammation and degeneration of the joints in the spine can cause chronic back pain.
• Osteoporosis: Weakening of bones due to age or other factors can cause fractures in the spine, leading to back pain.
• Injuries: Traumas such as car accidents, falls or sports injuries can damage the back and cause pain.
• Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions like fibromyalgia, scoliosis or spinal stenosis can result in chronic back pain.
• Obesity: Excess weight can put strain on the back, leading to pain and discomfort.
• Stress: Chronic stress can lead to tension in the muscles of the back, causing pain.
