Back Pain Types and Causes

As with most types of pain, back problems have a number of causes. However, most can be divided into either soft or hard tissue-related. Soft tissue denotes that an injury involves the muscular, nervous, or connective tissues of the body, while hard tissue refers to solid biological structures like bone and cartilage.

Living Well Medical in NYC takes a comprehensive approach to the treatment of soft tissue injuries, combining elements like physical therapy, spinal decompression, chiropractic adjustment, cold laser therapy, the Graston Technique, Kinesio Taping, massage and pain management - all work in different ways to stop the pain.

Muscle pain in the back can come in various forms like a sprain or strain, fibromyalgia, an overuse injury, or any number of other problems. Many times, muscle-related problems are caused by repeated stress to a muscle, overload of a muscle, lack of use, or another cause.

Connective tissue that has been injured can cause significant pain while restricting motion. A herniated disc, an area of treatment expertise for Living Well Medical, is a classic example of a connective tissue injury. For many patients, a herniated disc becomes a limitation on their ability to live a normal life. Other common connective tissue injuries include tendinitis (golfer's elbow, tennis elbow), plantar fasciitis, and shin splints. Trauma, wear-and-tear over time, and genetic predisposition are all factors that can lead to issues with connective tissue.

Nerve tissue injuries can be extremely painful. Sciatica and spinal stenosis are common nerve entrapments that have been known to cause severe back pain to patients. Like most back pain, nerve tissue problems are typically caused by trauma or age-related factors.
