Back Pain & Back Injuries

Back pain transmits from the body’s nervous system and is often an underlying cause of more significant – and sometimes chronic – problems. Pain resulting from bulging discs, back muscle strains or osteoarthritis can be inhibiting to the point of immobility.

Since the lumbar spine – lower back – supports the bulk of human body weight, it is particularly prone to injury and pain, subsequently affecting other parts of the body, including the upper spine and neck. Back and neck pain can range from mild to severe depending on the amount of injury, and it can be acute or chronic.

  • Acute lower back pain: often sourced in the muscles, ligaments, joints, or discs, this intense pain is generally quite sudden – caused by tight muscles, inflamed joints, or degenerative discs – but typically disappears within days or weeks of an accident.
  • Chronic back pain: characterized by lasting three or more months, and its severity may ebb and flow depending on a person’s physical activities. It’s often hard to diagnose the source of chronic back pain; however, nerve damage, scar tissue, arthritis and even psychological stress are known to exacerbate chronic back pain.

Your back or spinal pain may relate to injuries or other conditions, including:

  • Sciatica
  • Muscle Strain (often related to strenuous or physical activities)
  • Herniated or bulging discs (compression of back nerves as the result of a burst spinal disc)
  • Osteoarthritis (degenerative disc disease)
  • Stenosis (compression of the spinal cord against nerves in the back)
  • Lumbar (spine) injuries from sports-related activities, falls, or car accidents

Symptoms of Back Injuries

According to Ohio’s Mayfield Clinic, symptoms of back injuries may involve the following types of pain in the neck, back, buttocks, thighs, and knees:

  • Stiffness
  • Tightness
  • Aching
  • Burning, stabbing or shooting pains
  • Pressure or tingling
  • Pain that spreads to the buttocks, thighs or knees
  • Muscle spasms
  • Cauda Equina Syndrome (loss of bladder or bowel function control)

Common Causes of Back Injuries

Spinal injuries and back pain can result from serious impact due to:

  • Car accidents
  • Football and contact sports-related impact
  • Athletic wear and tear
  • Slip and falls
  • Impact from jumping/landing
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Dynamic, daily wear and tear from regular activities

Back injuries can wreak serious havoc on the body and cause physical damage as well as cause psychological side effects. These side effects may be severe enough to cause permanent or long-lasting damage. Back injuries may be keeping you in varying degrees of pain, out of work, on disability, in debt, or simply unable to participate in your day-to-day life at full capacity.

Back injuries can require both nonsurgical care as well as invasive surgery, and could also require weeks of physical therapy to rectify the problem and eliminate the pain.

Common Solutions to Back Injuries

The Ohio State University’s Wexner Medical Center points out that while back and neck pain are sometimes difficult to diagnose, people do have access to a variety of pain relief and treatment. Proposed degrees of treatment for Ohio back pain victims include:

  • Conservative measures: massages, chiropractic adjustments, and occupational therapy.
  • Moderately non-invasive treatment: acupuncture and tissue manipulation techniques, and integrative medicine.
  • Invasive treatment: spinal surgery.

Ohio medical professionals typically recommend beginning back treatment options conservatively before progressing to more aggressive measures for long-term chronic pain and severe back injuries.
