Spinal stenosisis a narrowing of the lumbar (back) or cervical (neck) spinal foramen, which causes compression of the nerve roots.
Spinal degeneration is caused by alterations in the disc that progress to degeneration.
Muscle spasm (very tense muscles that remain contracted)
Strain or tears to the muscles or ligaments supporting the back
Lumbar instabilities such as spondylolisthesis
