The following are some of the most common causes of back pain:
Myofascial trigger points dysfunction
We are always using connective tissues such as muscles, tendons and the surrounding fascia in order to maintain our posture and move our body. The quality of the connective tissue becomes poor when it is overused and fatigued without having enough recovery. These tissues are developing adhesion and trigger points (irritable muscle knots).The trigger points are the most common source of musculoskeletal pain. It increases pain, tension and radiating sensation in other body parts.
Spinal Stenosis
Lumbar spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal and/or the spinal nerve root passages in your low back. When this narrowing occurs, your spinal cord and/or nerves may become compressed and cause symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in your back, hip, and extremities. Stenosis is closely related with low back and hip stiffness, connective tissue tightness and poor posture.
Spondylolysis and Spondylolisthesis
Spondyloysis is defined as a stress fracture defect of the pars in the vertebra. The vast majority of these injuries are at the lower part of the back (L4,5). Spondylolisthesis is the ‘slippage’ or forward displacement on one vertebra over another due to the fracture in the vertebra. Athletic activities that require repeated excessive movement (hyperextension, rotation, repetitive flexion-extension) can develop this stress fracture in the spine.
Injury to the discs can cause severe back pain and lead to a more serious condition known as radiculopathy (nerve pain) in your thigh, leg, or foot (aka sciatica).
The good news is that physical therapy at our New York, NY clinic can help you if you are suffering from back pain caused by disc problems.
Herniated or Bulging Disc
A herniated or bulging disc can sound concerning, but it’s important to understand that discs are not fragile or likely to “slip out” in a way that causes permanent damage. The discs in your spine act like cushions between the vertebrae, and over time, they can change shape or bulge due to the natural aging process, repetitive movement, or even a sudden strain. In many cases, a bulging or herniated disc doesn’t directly cause pain — it’s how the surrounding structures respond that matters. The body may interpret pressure or irritation on the nerves as pain, even if the disc itself isn’t the root cause of your discomfort.
Treatment for a herniated or bulging disc often involves a combination of approaches. Physiotherapy plays a key role in addressing the root causes of pain, such as muscle imbalances, poor posture, or movement patterns that may contribute to irritation. Through tailored exercises and movement re-education, we help you improve spinal mobility, strengthen supporting muscles, and reduce the strain on your discs. In addition, medication can be used to manage pain and inflammation, helping you move more comfortably during your recovery.
If you’re experiencing persistent lower back pain related to discs, it’s important to see a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and to discuss the best treatment plan for your needs.
Piriformis Syndrome
Tight hip external rotator muscles (especially Piriformis muscle) can compress the Sciatic nerve coming from the lumbar spine leading to radiating pain to the lower leg.
People frequently describe a dull, painful ache in the lower back that worsens with prolonged standing or walking.
Facet Joint Pain with Movement
Facet is the joint connecting each vertebra. When the joint is locked, it does not allow smooth movement with increased sharp pain.
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a condition that weakens bones, making them more fragile and prone to fractures. It often develops slowly, with few noticeable symptoms until a fracture occurs. While it’s common in postmenopausal women and older adults, osteoporosis can aLect anyone with risk factors like low calcium, inactivity, or a family history.
The good news is that osteoporosis can be managed. Physiotherapy plays a key role in improving bone strength and reducing fracture risk. Through safe, targeted exercises, we can help strengthen muscles, improve balance, and enhance posture. Weight-bearing exercises, like walking and strength training, are particularly beneficial. Medications may also be prescribed to help prevent further bone loss, but lifestyle changes like nutrition, exercise, and posture correction are equally important.
With the right approach, osteoporosis doesn’t have to limit your activities. Our team will work with you to develop a personalized plan that helps you stay active, build strength, and manage the condition with confidence.
If you are suffering from any of these conditions, do not hesitate to
