Common Causes of Back Pain
Back pain can arise from multiple structures and movement patterns. At Aeris Physiotherapy Health and Wellness in Port Moody, every assessment is designed to determine what is contributing to your specific symptoms.
Common causes include:
Muscle strain or ligament irritation
Disc irritation or herniation
Prolonged sitting and postural stress
Repetitive lifting or workplace strain
Sports or gym-related injuries
Motor vehicle accidents
Degenerative changes such as osteoarthritis
In many cases, pain is influenced not only by tissue irritation but also by movement habits, strength imbalances, and reduced mobility.
