Back pain is the most common complaint to spine specialists, and one of the most common complaints to primary physicians. When most people say back pain or low back pain, they mean the area at about waist level. Sometimes the pain is lower in the buttocks, sacrum or tailbone area.
While there are several potential causes of pain in these regions, the most common problem that causes pain in these regions is disc injury; probably 90% of low back pain. But disc injury can be a number of different things. The reason is that the disc incurs little injuries frequently, and ages and degenerates, and the whole process gives rise to intermittent pains from mundane activities, e.g. the person who says they don’t recall doing anything to cause the pain, or they say that they simply bent over to pick up a sock. The specific injury is little tears of the outer part of the disc. These tears are sometimes significant enough to be seen on MRI scans, but more often they cannot be seen on MRI scans. Tears can be microscopic, which cannot be seen on MRI scans, but will cause pain. Your back, with or without pain, is always a balancing act between its degenerating changes, and consequently diminishing tolerances for physical activities, and the physically demanding inputs of activities.
As you may know from my other articles, 95% of common spinal pain is caused by the normal process of spinal aging and degeneration, which is a slowly progressive degenerative compressive process, which give rise to intermittent pain, depending upon your physical activities. This process and its intermittently painful consequences can be mitigated by doing enough exercise to keep you body lean, and your spine muscular. This is an empirical process of trying to find out how much you need to do to feel good in your spine.
While this mitigating exercise behavior is designed to prevent injury and painful episodes, in terms of treatment, the most appropriate and effective for this compressive process of aging, is to provide spinal decompression of the spine.
