Common Back Injury

Back pain and back injury as illnesses are like twins. The only difference between them is, the former is much more easier to prevent and is generally severe than the latter. In this page, we will be listing the possible causes of back pain, which can then eventually lead to back injury, if not properly addressed. It's important for you to take note of the following symptoms to, as much as possible, avoid having both of these illnesses at the same time. Here are the common causes of back pain and back injury as listed by Dr. Michael Bracko of Medical News Today:

According to Dr. Bracko, back pains are commonly caused by the the following factors: Lack of sleep/fatigue, Emotional instability, Family problems, Substance abuse, Lack of physical activity/too much physical activity, Poor muscle endurance and poor trunk muscle stabilization, and Excessive weight. The causes of Back injuries are mostly occupational risk factors in the form of Heavy physical work, Static posture - sitting and standing, Repetitive work (bending, twisting, pushing, pulling and lifting), Slipping, tripping or falling, Twisting while spine is loaded (carrying something), Vibration while driving, Fatigue/poor muscle endurance (excessive overtime, work-to-rest ratio), "Attitude" at work leading to accidents (poor or high-risk attitude), Lack of work satisfaction and lack of motivation, and Mental fatigue (forgetting to lift properly).
