What Causes Low Back Pain and How to Treat It
If you are hurting right now, you are probably not wondering what causes low back pain as much as what cures it. I know because I suffered with debilitating low back pain for years.
To answer the question “What causes low back pain?”, it depends on how far back you want to look. The truth is, whatever it is causing the pain now is not what started it.
All back pain is rooted in misshaped disc, which usually end up pressing against nerves. The medical profession calls the ruptured, herniated, and an assortment of other things. They are all one and the same, for practical purposes.
All disc get misshaped over time (because we take no preventive measures) by gravity and bad posture. Both of these forces must be countered if you want to rid yourself of the pain.
First, learn the correct posture. For sitting, keep your back straight and your shoulders back. For standing, tighten your abs a little, tighten your gluts (butt muscles) a bit, and pull your shoulders back.
To correct your posture long term, all you need to do is make a frequent, conscious effort, to put your body in the right position. In no time at all, you will be correcting your posture without even thinking about it.
As for what causes low back pain as you feel it now, it is the culmination of years of uncorrected abuse. There are exercises that can help, and I will show you two in just a moment.
Remember, you are feeling years of neglect. It will not go away overnight, and it will not go away on its own. But with the right attitude and tools it will go away.
