Lower Back Pain

Lower Back Pain Causes

There are many lower back pain causes, making lower back pain a very common issue. Some of the causes of lower back pain are unavoidable, but even if you already have lower back pain, taking immediate action and understanding the root cause will prevent further pain.

• Muscle strains – Strains in the back muscles often occur when you lift a heavy object, make a sudden awkward move, or are not in shape for that type of lifting.
• Arthritis– In some situations, osteoarthritis affects the lower back and can even lead to spinal stenosis.
• Osteoporosis – If you suffer from osteoporosis, the weak bones can cause compression fractures of the spine, resulting in pain.
• Excessive Weight – Overweight individuals tend to suffer more often from lower back pain symptoms than do those of a healthy weight, due to the extra pressure put on their bodies.

 

Lower Back Pain Symptoms
