Back pain can result from several risk factors, which can further complicate the existing or non-existing back problems. Back problems are mostly seen in individuals above the age group of forty years. The problem of back pain is more common in women than in men. In women, the initiation of back pain usually starts after pregnancy. Back pain can come into effect due to family history, previous accidents or trauma, or any underlying diseases and deformities. This article provides the top ten risk factors and risks that are accompanied by back pain.
The risk factors that increase the chances of getting back pain are:
Age: people between the age group of thirty to forty years and above are more prone to back problems.
Gender: back pain is more common in females than in males.
Activeness: physically inactive individuals have higher chances of acquiring back problems.
Obesity and overweight: being obese or overweight put stress on the back muscles and spine. Due to undesirable stress and improper posture, back problems occur early in such individuals.
Underlying diseases: underlying diseases like arthritis, auto-immune diseases and bone cancer can contribute to back pain.
Improper postures: improper working, sitting, and lifting postures can put stress on the back muscles, ligaments, and bones and thus increase the chances of getting back problems.
Psychological problems: patients with anxiety and depression often suffer from back problems.
Smoking: Smokers are more likely to suffer from back pain. This can occur because smoking causes coughing and it can further lead to a herniated disc due to more wear and tear of the spinal disks. Smoking can also reduce blood flow to the spine and increase the risk of osteoporosis.
Family history: patients with a family history of back problems have higher chances of getting back pain.
Pregnancy in women: during pregnancy, relaxin is released that loosens the joints and ligaments for the smoother delivery of the baby. Due to this condition, mild tasks can cause strains in the back and the woman may suffer from back pain. Although the condition gets back to normal after a few months of the delivery of the baby.
The risks and complications that can occur due to back pain are:
Upper back pain is rarely caused due to any underlying diseases.
It is mainly caused due to improper postures and positioning while doing high-impact activities, like lifting heavy boxes and prolonged working out in the wrong postures.
Upper back pain can be self-treated.
Heat and cold therapy often help to relieve the stress from that area. Patients should also practice regular gentle stretching exercises to maintain proper mobility.
Ā
Middle back pain: middle back pain is the pain in the thoracic region of the spine.
Middle back pain can result from low activeness and less mobility of certain back parts.
Patients can perform regular gentle exercises to increase their mobility. Middle back pain can be self-treated.
Ā
Lower back pain: lower back pain is the most common type of back pain and affects the spine’s lower region.
Lower back pain can be caused due to an injury in the back muscles, ligaments, or bones.
It can also come into effect due to poor postures.

Resolve360 is great platform for online physiotherapy.
I was suffering from scapula dyskinesia and had lot of pain in right shoulder movement. I was introduced to Resolve 360 by my oncologist.
Within a month (26 sessions) there was a considerable improvement. Sessions are very cost-effective and doctors are very kind and efficient.
Doctor David has been really great and helpful. I would highly recommend Resolve 360.
I took prenatal care program from Resolve 360. Dr. Preyrna was assigned to me and she has done commendable job. I did prenatal exercises under her supervision, she designed program according to my body need. With her help my pregnancy was healthy and I got good dilations at the time of delivery. I am blessed with a healthy baby girl and very happy with Resolve 360.
Best therapy sessions that too at home and timings are very flexible. I had a issue in my neck and lower back since almost 4 to 5 years, taken so many treatments and physio sessions. But all gave a temporary relief. Then my friend referred me this Resolve 360 in 2020, in starting i was hesitant as everything was online, but after taking almost 10 sessions i got much relief, and now i am almost free of pain. Thanks to the team of Resolve 360.
I had online Physiotherpy sessions by Prerana for my heel pain. ( Tendo Achilis Sprain).
Though virtual, it was more interactive.
She was very observant throughout the sessions, correcting me while doing the exercises and was assertive in her outlook.
I found her instructions and methodology very helpful. She is updated in her academic knowledge in the field of Physiotherpy. She clarified my doubts about the role of Laser and Ultrasound treatment quoting evidence based data. With my personal experience I agree with her opinion that these are more of placebo effect.
Physiotherpy though not a miracle treatment, is a compelling necessity to most of the musculoskeletal and neurological illnesses. It needs to be accepted as healthy way to live.
From being a couch potato with poor cardio respiratory system to reaching pre-athlete levels of fitness in a span of 3 months, my journey with Resolve360 and Dr.David (Physiotherapist) has been anything but magical!
About 3 to 4 months ago, my blood report showed very high bad cholesterol levels, I was low on stamina and had frequent breathing issues. My GP prescribed me cholesterol meds for a month but I felt that alone wouldnāt get me back in shape because I needed a major lifestyle overhaul.
Dr.David educated me about my condition in detail and where it could lead me to if I donāt take action in the long run. He put me on a balanced workout regime being easy with cardio workouts in the initial days and gradually upgraded it observing me closely. He also advises me on dietary choices and follows up frequently. During the initial days, my ears used to get blocked within 5 wall squats and I stop right away but now I do over 20 in one shot and hardly feel a thing. I used to lose balance and fall off over my face within 6 push-ups or 20 seconds of plank and now I do about 24 push-ups in one shot. My heart rate used to raise above 150 bpm doing jumping jacks or other cardio workout within 20-30 seconds. You wonāt believe I donāt do any of these cardio workouts without additional weights on my feet these days and my heart rate and recovery are as steady as they could get. I couldnāt run for over 2 min without stopping and gasping and now I cover about 4.6 km in 30 min and follow-up with a 20 min walk. Not convinced yet? My VO2 Max (I use an Apple Watch to measure this stat) was just about 33 while I started with Resolve360 and David. That reflects a very poor cardio respiratory fitness for a 34 year old. Itās 43.5 today ! Easily above average. Please read upon about VO2 Max and how it directly relates to cardio respiratory fitness so you get an accurate picture about my monumental progress in the last 3 months. Iāve been trying to get into a regular physical workout and balanced diet discipline since my 20s but Iād never been so motivated as Iām now. Give these guys a try. After all, the best investment you could ever make is on your health !
