Chronic Back Pain: Causes, Treatment & When to See a Specialist

Back pain is one of the most common health complaints worldwide, and in Lagos’ fast-paced lifestyle, it’s becoming increasingly common among professionals, business owners, and even young adults.
If you’ve been experiencing back pain for more than 12 weeks, you may be dealing with chronic back pain, and it’s important not to ignore it. At Tranquil and Quest Specialist Hospital (TQSH), our specialists provide advanced, non-surgical and minimally invasive solutions designed to relieve pain and restore mobility.

What Causes Chronic Back Pain?

Chronic back pain may result from:

  • Poor posture (especially prolonged sitting)
  • Herniated or slipped discs
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Muscle strain or ligament injury
  • Sciatica
  • Previous injuries
  • Obesity and a sedentary lifestyle

Without proper treatment, the condition can worsen and significantly affect your daily productivity and quality of life.

Symptoms You Shouldn’t Ignore

  • Persistent lower or upper back pain
  • Pain radiating to the legs
  • Numbness or tingling sensation
  • Weakness in the limbs
  • Difficulty standing or walking for long periods

If you experience any of these symptoms, early evaluation can prevent complications.
