What Causes Back Pain?

Some of the most frequent causes include:

  • Muscle or ligament strain due to overuse, lifting heavy objects, or sudden awkward movements

  • Degenerative disc disease or disc herniation putting pressure on nerves

  • Spinal stenosis (narrowing of spaces in the spine)

  • Arthritis, osteoarthritis or facet joint degeneration

  • Poor posture, weak core muscles, or lifestyle factors like obesity or inactivity

  • Trauma from injuries, accidents, falls

Understanding the underlying cause is the first step to effective treatment.

Back Pain Treatment FAQs

Relief timelines vary: acute back pain may improve within days to weeks with appropriate care; for chronic pain, it often takes months of combined therapies.

Only if conservative treatments don’t work, or if there’s structural damage, nerve compression, or other urgent concerns. Most people improve without surgery.

Some discomfort is normal during rehab, but it should be manageable. Therapists adjust the plan to your pain tolerance.

Coverage depends on your plan and type of treatment. At IntegraMed, we help patients understand what’s covered and work with many insurances.
