Causes of Back Pain

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek help from a chiropractor in Hobart.

It can affect both the upper and lower back and is often linked to everyday lifestyle habits. Sitting at a computer for long hours, long commutes behind the wheel, or repeated bending and lifting at work all contribute to the strain.

Sudden flare-ups are also common. Many people develop issues from “weekend warrior” activities such as gardening, landscaping, or outdoor sports that overload the body. Mountain biking, rushed housework, or even lifting something awkwardly can quickly aggravate pre-existing tension and leave you feeling like your back “just went out.”

Common Symptoms

The symptoms of back pain can range from a dull ache to sharp, stabbing sensations, and may spread beyond the back itself. Pain may be felt in the buttocks, groin or legs, while stiffness and restricted movement are also common.

When the nerve system is affected, the impact can extend much further. People experiencing back pain in Hobart often report:

  • tiredness
  • headaches
  • poor sleep
  • brain fog
  • joint stiffness
  • ringing in the ears
  • digestive issues
  • lowered resistance to colds and flu
  • or even allergic reactions.

Because the nerve system controls every function in the body, interference can create wide-reaching effects.
