Lower back pain can start as a slight ache and then gradually become more noticeable as it interferes with activities and mobility. Lower back pain can be caused by strain, poor posture or general wear and tear, and can make working, driving, sleeping and even everyday activities uncomfortable. If lower back pain is persistent and interfering with your daily life, professional lower back treatment can alleviate discomfort and improve movement.
Understanding the Lower Back
The back is the body’s main support and is made up of vertebrae (the spine), muscles, nerves, ligaments and shock-absorbing discs. The spine has three natural curves: cervical, thoracic and lumbar. The cervical spine supports the neck and allows you to move your head; the thoracic spine supports the middle back and protects the lungs; the lumbar spine supports the lower back and contains the largest and strongest vertebrae. When all three curves are in their normal positions, the body is ideally balanced with your weight evenly distributed.
Common Problems
Back pain is commonly caused by misaligned vertebrae, slipped discs, pinched nerves, sprained muscles or ligaments. The most common complaints are lower back pains, sciatica symptoms, muscle spasms, sprains and strains.
Common Causes
Poor posture like slouching or hunching, poor sleeping surfaces or positions, incorrect sitting or standing positions, strain from improper lifting techniques, trauma from sports like golf and tennis, obesity, frequent use of high heels.
