The Type Of Back Pain Can Help Identify Its Origin

The Sharpness Or Localization Can Detect A Bad Posture, A Herniated Disk Or Even Sciatica

Back pain is not unique. It can be sharp, dull, localized, spreading into arms and legs, seasonal, among others. How the pain feels may help explain what is causing it. For example, if the back pain is dull and persistent, the cause can be a bad posture or using a non-ergonomic desk or chair. Also, a sharp pain plus muscles spasm could reveal over-exercising, or a poor workout – the cause is the muscles repairing after the exercise, and also happens with a new workout that involves new muscles. Another case involves a sharp pain traveling to the arms and legs, in which a herniated disk is adding pressure to a nerve. This also can include numbness or even loss of bladder control. A sharp or dull pain that extends only to the legs could be sciatica. Check how to differentiate the origin of your back pain. More info click here.
