Causes of Back Pain

Back pain can show up in different ways, including:

  • Morning stiffness that takes a while to ease
  • A dull ache across the lower back that worsens as the day goes on
  • Sharp twinges when bending, lifting, or twisting
  • Pain after sitting for long periods or driving
  • Pain that travels down the leg (sciatica)
  • Feeling restricted in movements like getting up from a chair or reaching overhead

If these sound familiar, you’re not alone – and physiotherapy can help.
