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.
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.
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.
