General information

The spine, also called backbone or spinal cord, is an important anatomical structure of the human body. It extends from the base of the skull to the coccyx and forms the framework that supports our body and allows us to stand upright. The spine is divided into the cervical spine (neck), the thoracic spine (chest) and the lumbar spine (lower back), the sacrum and the coccyx. These sections are separated by intervertebral discs and surrounded by numerous muscles, ligaments and nerves.

Causes

Pain in the spine can be caused by factors:

• Muscle tension: Excessive exertion, stress or unfavorable movements can cause muscle tension around the spine.
• Bad posture: A long-term bad posture can strain the spine and cause pain.
• Injuries: Injuries to the spine can occur from accidents, falls or sudden movements and cause acute pain.
• Inflammation: Inflammatory diseases (spondylitis, intervertebral disc inflammation) can lead to chronic pain in the spine.
• Osteoarthritis: Chronic back pain can be caused by osteoarthritis (degenerative changes of the spine).
• Nerve compression: Pinched or irritated nerves in the spine can cause pain, numbness and tingling.
