Backache & Spine Disorders

Backache is one of the most common health problems affecting people of all ages. While muscle strain can cause temporary pain, persistent or severe backache may be due to nerve compression, slipped disc, or spine disorders that require expert neurological evaluation.

Common Causes of Backache

• Muscle Strain: Overexertion, poor posture, or lifting heavy objects.
• Slip Disc (Herniated Disc): Disc pressing on spinal nerves causing pain and numbness.
• Sciatica: Pain radiating from the back to the legs due to nerve compression.
• Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of spinal canal causing back and leg pain.
• Osteoarthritis: Degeneration of spine joints.
• Osteoporosis: Weak bones leading to vertebral fractures.
• Infections / Tumors: Rare but serious causes of backache.

Symptoms That Need Medical Attention

• Persistent backache lasting more than 2–3 weeks
• Pain radiating to legs, hips, or buttocks
• Numbness, tingling, or weakness in legs
• Loss of bladder or bowel control (medical emergency)
• Back pain associated with fever or weight loss
• Severe pain after injury or fall

Diagnosis & Treatment

• Neurological & spine examination
• X-rays, MRI, or CT scan for spine evaluation
• Blood tests to rule out infections or metabolic causes
• Medications for pain relief & inflammation control
• Physiotherapy & posture correction
• Epidural injections in selected cases
• Referral for spine surgery if necessary
