Low back pain is a pervasive issue affecting millions of people worldwide. It can range from a dull ache to a sharp, debilitating pain, and it often disrupts daily life, impacting both work and leisure activities. At The Hive Wellness Center, we specialize in providing comprehensive care to alleviate and manage low back pain. In this blog, we’ll explore the common causes of low back pain and how our team can help you find relief and regain your quality of life.
Common Causes of Low Back Pain
1. Muscle / Ligament Strain and Sprains
- Cause: Often caused by lifting heavy objects improperly, sudden movements, or overuse of muscles.
- Symptoms: Pain, stiffness, and sometimes muscle spasms in the lower back
2. Herniated Discs
- Cause: Occurs when the soft, gel-like center of a spinal disc pushes through its outer layer, irritating nearby nerves.
- Symptoms: Sharp pain, numbness, or tingling that may radiate down the leg and muscle spasms.
3. Joint Derangements
- Cause: Joints often become sensitive to certain patterns of movement or repetitive stresses.
- Symptoms: Isolated lower back pain or referral pain down into the legs that can be made worse with repetitive movements.
4. Spinal Stenosis
- Cause: Narrowing of the spinal canal compresses the spinal cord or nerves.
- Symptoms: Pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower back and legs, often worsening with standing or walking.
5. Postural Issues
- Cause: Poor posture or prolonged sitting, especially with improper ergonomics, can strain the lower back.
- Symptoms: Discomfort or pain that may improve with movement or adjustments in posture.
