But, what causes low back pain exactly?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of us mistakenly think that any back pain we experience must be attributed to a single incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The time you picked up a box that was just a little bit too heavy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The time you were hit square in the back with a baseball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The time your best friend\u2019s son decided to try The Rock\u2019s infamous \u201cPeople\u2019s Elbow\u201d on you while you were crouched down on the floor just trying to pick up some important papers (true story).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The truth is that it\u2019s usually not just one incident contributing to your ongoing low back pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take a closer look at low back and what you can do to turn the dial down on your nagging low back pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why it Matters:
<\/strong>First, some fundamental anatomy. Your low back is made up of 5 bones you\u2019ll hear us refer to as the lumbar vertebrae, each with spinal discs in between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These bones protect your spinal cord which travels down through your spinal column and your spinal nerves which branch out to the left and right side in between each vertebrae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supporting the incredible structure that is your spine is a complex of ligaments, tendons, and muscles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Causes Low Back Pain
<\/strong>As it turns out, low back pain often occurs because the stress on a particular area of your spine has exceeded your body’s ability to adapt to and handle that stress. And, of course, if the stress on any one area of the spine becomes too great, then an injury is likjely to occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes specifically to what causes low back pain, the most common low back pain related injuries are sprains and strains, spinal disc bulges or herniations, and facet joint issues (misalignments, adhesions, etc).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is that, in most cases, these injuries can heal pretty quickly with the right care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
