The cause of back pain can be broken down into major 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. Iliopsoas Syndrome Sciatica Sedentary Lifestyle
