What Causes Low Back Pain to Develop?

Low back pain can be caused by many factors. For many, it develops over a long period of time as a result of either too little movement or the wrong kinds of movements repeated too many times. Low back pain is common in the 21st century partly due to all the lifestyle habits we now have – all the sitting at work, looking down at computers and phones, getting stressed and carrying tension through our shoulders. Over time, all these factors build up and gradually reduce the ability of our back to “resist injury”, unless something is done about it!

Where Does Low Back Pain Come From?

There are many structures in the low back that may cause pain to be felt. Anything from the muscles to the joints, from ligaments to the discs and even the nerves.

Is Low Back Pain Serious?

Low back pain is very rarely serious, and normally goes away within a few weeks. Despite this, low back pain can still be very scary and can stop you from being able to enjoy your life.

How Can You Help Low Back Pain At Home?

Firstly, it is important to remember that even though the pain levels may seem very high, it is probably nothing serious and nothing to worry about.

Most people with low back pain will recover much faster the sooner they get back to moving normally. Although certain movements may be uncomfortable, they won’t harm you, so try to push through the discomfort as much as possible. Exercises like the video above are a great way to get movement into the back, which will then help to reduce the pain.

The worst thing to do for low back pain is remain static and still. In the past, bed rest used to be recommended, but we now know that lying still is one of the worst things to do for low back pain. Instead, try going for a 5-15 minute walk.
