Back pain is a common issue that affects approximately 80% of the population at some point in their lives, significantly impacting daily activities and overall quality of life. It can manifest from various sources within the back, such as muscles, nerves, ligaments, discs, and bones, often presenting as a persistent, deep ache in the lower back that worsens with movement or prolonged static positions.

At Castle Thai Spa, our goal is to meticulously assess your condition, manage your pain, and expedite your recovery to normal function.

Understanding the Origins of Back Pain

Back pain can emerge abruptly due to trauma, often caused by improper bending, heavy lifting, or twisting, leading to damage in the back's muscles, ligaments, or joints. Sometimes, acute back pain appears without an obvious trigger, yet it remains intensely discomforting. Chronic back pain, on the other hand, may develop over time from repetitive stress injuries (RSI), placing continuous strain on the back. Our approach includes identifying the root cause of your discomfort to implement strategies aimed at preventing future episodes.

Common Back Pain Triggers

• Muscle Strain: Improper posture or overexertion can lead to muscle strains, triggering fatigue and subsequent back pain.
• Poor Posture: Chronic poor posture places undue stress on the spine's structures, gradually leading to discomfort.
• Disc Bulge: Spinal discs serve as cushions between vertebrae. A bulged disc, resulting from sudden movements or long-term postural stress, can inflame and press on surrounding nerves, possibly causing pain, pins and needles, or numbness, which are sometimes misidentified as sciatica.
• Facet Joint Sprain: The spine's vertebrae are interconnected by facet joints, which can become sprained and inflamed, akin to an ankle sprain, leading to pain and restricted movement.
• Sciatica: Compression of the sciatic nerve can cause lower back pain that may extend to the leg or buttock, accompanied by tingling, numbness, muscle spasms, reduced flexibility, and weakness.
