Causes of Back Pain

Pinched Nerves

Pinched nerves in the lower back can contribute to pain in other parts of the body, shooting from the lower back down to the leg or from the neck down the arm.

Slipped Discs

Slipped discs are a common cause of low back pain. Slipped discs go by many names: herniated discs, disc protrusions, or disc tears. Slipped discs can cause nerves to pinch in the spine, leading to pain in other parts of the body. A herniated disc can shoot from the lower back down the legs, or from the neck to the arms.

Depending on where nerves are pinched, different pains can occur. A cervical herniated disc can cause pain in the arms as well as weakness or numbness. Lumbar herniated discs cause discomfort and sharp pains in the leg, ankle or foot as well as weakness or numbness. With a lumbar herniated disc, leg pain is usually worse when sitting.

Degenerative Disc Disease

Degenerative disc disease is commonly referred to as arthritis of the back, and is a very painful disorder. Read more about degenerative disc disease. Find out more about slipped discs / herniated discs.
