Could the pain in my back be a postural issue?

Whether your posture is causing a spinal misalignment, or spinal misalignment is causing poor posture, this can absolutely lead to back pain. Imbalance in posture can make the stresses on each side of the body unequal, and lead to muscle tightness, strain, or even pinched nerves.

What is sciatica?

The term sciatica takes its name form the sciatic nerve, a major nerve that controls all of the nerve signals between the leg and the spine. A pinching anywhere along this nerve can lead to referred pain in the low back. Shooting pains in your legs or buttocks are an indicator of this condition.

What will the doctor do to diagnose my back pain?

The doctor will perform a physical examination of your spine, and take a thorough medical history of any past injuries, conditions, or relevant family history. In some cases, diagnostic imaging such as an x-ray, CT scan or MRI may be advised.
