Back Pain in Hong Kong

Back pain is a common problem in Hong Kong. Adults of all ages in our community suffer from back pain. If you have this problem, knowing the causes of back pain and the treatment options can help you determine the best way to manage your condition.

Causes of Back Pain and Lower Back Pain

There are many causes of back pain and lower back pain.

• Incorrect lifting and twisting techniques. Lifting heavy objects incorrectly can cause strain on the muscles and ligaments in the back, neck and extremities. This can lead to subluxations and other injuries, like herniated disc.

• Poor ergonomics. Poor ergonomics can contribute to strain on the joints in the back. Over time, poor ergonomics can damage the discs between the back, leading to chronic pain.

• Herniated disc. A herniated disc is a common condition that occurs when the spongy disc between the vertebrae of the spine ruptures from the hard casing that encloses it. A herniated disc can cause tingling, numbness, severe pain and other problems.

• Active lifestyle. People who lead an active lifestyle can easily damage their back and cause strain to the other muscles of the body, leading to pain and discomfort.

• Poor posture. Poor posture can put pressure on the vertebrae, leading to subluxations and back pain.

• Subluxations. A subluxation occurs when the vertebrae become misaligned and put pressure on the spinal cord. When a subluxation occurs, realigning the vertebrae becomes necessary.
