Common Causes of Back Pain
Wondering where your back pain might be coming from? Here's an in-depth look at some the common causes of back pain:
Arthritis in the back primarily affects the spine’s facet joints or the sacroiliac joints, leading to conditions like osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. This can cause stiffness, reduced flexibility, and chronic pain that often worsens with age.
The pain is usually described as a deep, aching discomfort that becomes more pronounced during inactivity or in the morning.
Sciatica results from irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, which extends from the lower back down to the feet. A herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or piriformis syndrome often causes this condition.
Pain can range from a sharp, burning sensation to a jolting pain that travels from the lower back through the buttocks and down one leg, commonly exacerbated by sitting, sneezing, or coughing.
Back pain from a past injury can stem from fractures, muscle strains, or ligament sprains sustained during physical activities or accidents. Such injuries can lead to chronic back pain if not properly healed.
The pain is often localized to the site of the injury and may flare up with activity or changes in weather.
Poor posture, especially when sitting or standing for prolonged periods, puts undue stress on the spine. This can lead to muscular imbalances, strain, and compression of the vertebral discs.
People with poor posture often experience a dull, aching pain, which can become more acute with certain positions or after long periods of inactivity.
A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner gel of a spinal disc protrudes through a tear in the exterior, pressing on nearby nerves. This condition is often the result of wear and tear but can also result from a sudden injury.
The pain is typically sharp and may be accompanied by numbness or weakness along the nerve’s path, such as into the leg or foot.
Muscle strain in the back is usually caused by sudden movements, lifting heavy objects improperly, or overuse during physical activities. This leads to inflammation and pain in the affected muscles, often felt as a sharp pain initially that may turn into a persistent, dull ache.
Muscle strains in the back can limit mobility and may cause muscle spasms, further exacerbating the discomfort.

How Can Red Light Therapy Alleviate Back Pain?
Red light therapy is a non-invasive method of treatment that applies specific wavelengths of light to the body. These wavelengths reach the cells beneath the skin and help stimulate cell energy in the form of ATP. With more energy, cells are better able to perform their designated functions, which include regeneration, repair, and healing.
Red light therapy has been found in multiple studies to reduce inflammation in the body and improve blood flow.2 When it comes to back pain, red light therapy can help provide the following benefits:
- Muscle relaxation: By reducing oxidative stress in the muscles and relaxing muscle fibers, red light therapy can alleviate stiffness, spasms, and tense muscles.
- Improved healing: Through more effective cellular repair and increased blood flow, red light therapy can help the ligaments and muscles in the back to heal more quickly.
- Reduced inflammation: Back pain is often caused by inflammation as the back struggles to support the body without the strength required to do so. By reducing inflammation, red light therapy can help alleviate back pain.
The impacts of red light therapy are exciting for many individuals tackling chronic pain. Those who use red light therapy as part of a comprehensive treatment plan are most likely to see the best results.
In addition to using professional red light therapy services, individuals can leverage physical therapy programs, strength training, and lifestyle changes for back pain management.
