Causes of Lower Back Pain

Your lower back is a major area of stability and mobility with your body, and it's comprised of dozens of different types of connective tissues. Biomechanically, it's subject to a lot of stress and force as we go about our day, especially in our modern world where sitting has become such a predominant activity. Sitting actually imposes more stress on the lower back than standing does!

In addition to excessive sedentary behavior, other factors which may cause your back pain include: poor posture, repetitive movement, smoking, excessive body weight, physically demanding jobs, improper body mechanics while lifting or moving heavy objects, and even a prior history of a back injury. These factors can lead to underlying conditions such as muscle spasms, degenerative disc disease, osteoarthritis, disc herniation, disc bulge, and joint misalignments, all of which can contribute to lower back pain. 

Signs & Symptoms

These conditions can lead to a variety of debilitating symptoms, including:

  • Back stiffness and pain
  • Tenderness along the lower back 
  • Pain, numbness, and/or weakness in one leg (if a spinal nerve root is impinged)
  • Decreased flexibility, especially in the hamstrings, hip flexors, and hip internal rotators
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Decreased tolerance to physical activity and/or standing

The relationship between mental and physical distress can't be ignored. Even psychological stress and mood disorders can be linked with lower back pain.
