Looking at the Causes of Lower Back Pain
There are a lot of things that can cause lower back pain. Knowing what causes your pain will help you determine how to have it treated by a chiropractor. Poor posture can and often does lead to improper muscle usage. This means that your muscles are operating in a way that they are not used to moving. Lower back pain is often the result. Some other common causes include the following:
- Overusing your muscles can cause problems. This happens through repetitive motion. Lifting a lot of things in a short period or weightlifting may cause lower back pain.
- Injuries are a major cause of pain in the lower back area. These can happen in a car accident, falling, and many other ways. The pain will persist if the muscle heals wrong or is never treated correctly.
- Spinal injuries can also be a source of back pain, especially if you have a herniated disc in your spinal column. It affects the nerves and all of the muscles that are attached to the area.
- Out of place joints and bones. Sometimes you can have sections of your body that are out of alignment. This causes other parts of your body to over adjust to compensate for the alignment issue. A chiropractor can help by putting everything back the way it should be.
- Infections can also be a cause of lower back pain.
