The Cause of Back Pain
Primary Causes and Contributing Influences


The cause of back pain can be broken down into primary causes and contributing influences.

For example, nerve compression is a primary cause, while obesity is or can be a contributing influence.

Sorting out causes and influences can be a complex task, but one issue is very clear:

Cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all diagnoses, prescriptions, and exercise regimes are not the answer. The reason for this is that back pain is very individual, with numerous potential causes.

In my experience, there’s often a central cause but also several contributing influences.

If these contributing influences, in addition to the primary problem, are not sorted out and properly treated, back pain cannot resolve in a lasting way.

Listed below are numerous causes of back pain. Some are primary causes, while others are contributing influences.

Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

Piriformis Syndrome

Nerve Compression and Entrapment

Trigger Points

Herniated Disc

Sciatica

Sensory-Motor Amnesia
