Low Back Pain Q & A
What Causes Lower Back Pain?
Lower back pain is caused by any number of issues or conditions, including repetitive activities such as bending or lifting, carrying heavy or unbalanced loads, poor posture, sleeping on an unsupportive mattress, knee or hip problems, conditions affecting the spine or discs, nerve-related problems, sports or work-related accidents, car accidents, osteoarthritis and many other issues. Dr. Yanamadula uses his extensive training and expertise to diagnose the root cause of the lower back pain in order to ensure the most effective and appropriate treatment is applied. Some of the most common causes of back pain include:
- Spine conditions like arthritis, spinal stenosis, and spondylolisthesis
- Nerve impingements, including sciatica in the lower back and cervical radiculopathy in the upper back and shoulders
- Lifestyle and work habits, including sitting or standing for long periods of time without taking breaks, poor posture, carrying heavy or unbalanced backpacks or purses, poor lifting technique, wearing high heels or shoes without arch support, and even sleeping on a mattress that's too soft
- Trauma from car accidents, sports accidents, slip-and-fall accidents or other causes
Can Chronic Back Pain be Effectively Managed?
Chronic back pain can be effectively managed once the cause has been determined and accurately diagnosed. Knowing why the pain is occurring will give the doctor a better idea of how to correct the problem and alleviate the pain permanently. If the problem cannot be cured or corrected, the doctor will begin to implement a pain management plan that takes into account the patient's needs. This includes finding ways for the patient to remain active and productive. Exercise, the use of deep tissue massage to help maintain mobility and strength, as well as the use of anti-inflammatory pain medications, are all possible options that can help provide positive results when it comes to pain management.
