Here’s a fact about back pain that may bring you some comfort: it’s one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints in the world. Around 80% of people will have back pain at least once. So, if you’re suffering now, you probably aren’t the only one! Of course, that thought does little to help if your back pain keeps you from performing day-to-day activities — as it often does. Back pain is often accompanied by mobility restrictions that make walking, rising from sitting, or bending over difficult. And if left untreated, it can sometimes lead to long-term pain and dysfunction. At Ace Physique, we know how debilitating back pain can be. Our team of dedicated physiotherapists, chiropractors, massage therapists, and acupuncturists can help you understand the cause or causes of your back pain and work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that will let you get back to the activities you love to do. Call our clinic today to set up your initial consultation! WHAT CAUSES BACK PAIN? One of the reasons that back pain is so common is that it’s associated with several different injuries, underlying conditions, or lifestyle factors. That said, most back pain is non-specific, meaning it’s not caused by a specific disease or specific structural problem but by mechanical issues. Mechanical issues are difficult to pinpoint and may include multiple tissues in and around the spinal joints. The first step in treating your back pain is understanding what’s contributing to it. One of our physiotherapists or chiropractors can perform a comprehensive evaluation to help us learn as much as possible about your experience with back pain, including screening for any mobility limitations or weakness you’re struggling with. Here are some of the more common sources of back pain that we see at our clinic: • Strains and Sprains: A strain occurs when you injure the muscles in your back. A sprain occurs when you injure the ligaments that link your spinal vertebrae. Both can cause pain and limited mobility, and they often result from lifting with improper form (such as twisting while lifting) or attempting to lift something too heavy. • Herniated Discs: Soft, flexible discs separate and cushion your spinal vertebrae. If one of those discs herniates—protrudes out—and irritates a nearby nerve, it can lead to intense pain, feeling “stuck” in a stooped-over position, and often pain down the leg known as sciatica. • Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis in the world, occurring when the cartilage and bone tissue in a joint degenerate and become inflamed. While we often associate it with the hips, knees, or hands, it can occur in the spine, too. Spinal osteoarthritis is sometimes called spondylosis. Continued on next page. BACK PAIN SLOWING YOU DOWN?
