Back pain can be caused by a weakened vertebrae from osteoporosis causing fractures to occur, degenerative scoliosis, work-related injuries, facet disease, degenerative disc disease, chronic and persistent low back pain and disability.

Orthopedic doctors see people with a variety of conditions that affect the muscles, nerves, bones, joints, and connective tissues. Conditions, such as arthritis, bursitis, and osteoporosis can cause pain and dysfunction that can be truly debilitating. Orthopedic conditions are often chronic, meaning they tend to last months or even years, and they are often progressive, which means they will get worse over time – especially without treatment. Some of these conditions are related to age, some are genetic, and some are caused by overuse of the affected area.
Some orthopedic conditions, like arthritis, can occur in many parts of the body. Arthritis involves inflammation of the joints that causes pain and dysfunction, and it can be experienced in any joint.
degenerative disc disease – one of the most common spine disorders, symptoms of degenerative disc disease may include back pain or muscle spasms
fracture – spine fractures occur when more force is applied to the vertebrae than the bones can absorb, possibly resulting from a fall or other trauma
herniated disc - a herniated disc occurs when the disc material breaks the disc annulus and impedes on a nerve root, essentially “pinching” the nerve
infection – bacteria or fungal organisms may cause a number of spinal infections characterized by chills, stiffness, pain or other symptoms
