What Causes Back Pain and Back Injuries?

The potential causes of back pain and injury are innumerable. They include:

• Slipped discs

• Scoliosis

• Injury from twisting, lifting or impact

• Weakened muscles and connective tissue

• Chronic pain conditions

… and more. It is impossible to offer a full list of causes here, but it’s important to realize that many of these dangers are more significant during winter’s colder temperatures and more hazardous ground conditions.

Winter Activities That Cause Back Pain and Injury

In wintertime, it is especially important that you take care when outside. Common causes of back injury related to winter include:

• Shoveling snow
• Slipping and falling on ice or other slick surfaces
• Bending or lifting heavy things outside
• Skiing and snowboarding

Lack of exercise in the winter also allows muscles to weaken, which can contribute to back injury, and the cold makes conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia worse.
