Inflammatory Backaches

Arthritis (inflammation of the joints) of the spinal column causes back pain. Osteoarthritis (OA) is an age related form of arthritis that also causes severe backaches by inflammation and degeneration of vertebra joint and disc. Ankylosing spondylitis is another form of arthritis that can occur in young adults and causes pain and stiffness in the lower back. Rheumatoid arthritis may affect the spine, but you are likely to have other joints affected with inflammation too.


Causes of Back Pain

There are many causes of back pain. Mechanical problems with the back itself can cause pain. Examples are disc breakdown, spasms, tense muscles and ruptured discs. Injuries from sprains, fractures, accidents, and falls can result in back pain. Back pain can also occur with some conditions and diseases, such as:

• Scoliosis
• Spondylolisthesis
• Arthritis
• Spinal stenosis
• Pregnancy
• Kidney stones
• Infections
• Endometriosis
• Fibromyalgia

Other possible causes of back pain are infections, tumors, or stress.
