All about Stabbing Back Pain : causes and treatments
Meaning
Back Pain is the sudden involuntary shooting pain felt by a person in the lower back of the body usually in the area around the lower spinal chord and the tail bone. The pain normally originates from the muscles, nerves, bones, joints or any other structure surrounding the spine. The spine is made up of many bones called vertebrae. These vertebrae are like a disc as it is almost rounded in shape. Again, these discs are made up of rubber like strong tissue such that they can be bent with slight flexibility by the voluntary movement of the muscles of the body. Besides, there are strong ligaments that support the spine and give it the needed strength to support the weight of the human body. Yet within this complex arrangement the body at times is unable to respond to the exertion caused on it and gives off shooting pain that may radiate to different parts of the body like the neck, upper back, lower back, thighs and legs.
Causes
There may be several causes for back pain to incur on a human body. They may arise out of sports injury, heavy exertion by lifting weights or doing unusually hard physical work or by remaining in a sedentary position for along while at home or at ones work place. Even bad habits like the incorrect use of chair or furniture for sitting or sleeping, long rides in motor vehicles or excessive use of undulating surfaces for sitting and sleeping and continued use of spongy surfaces, exposure to cold or heat or injury resulting out of a fall, fight or thwarting an attack. Apart from these back pain may occur due to natural deformities in the bone structure, degeneration of the disc, weak muscles or lack of balanced diet and excessive weight of the body.
