Lower Back Pain: Causes & Treatments

Lower back pain originates from either injury, vigorous exercise, poor posture, and many other causes. However, this does not mean that you have to continue suffering from it for the rest of your days. Trying an alternative method to relieve this discomfort like getting a massage therapy service is the best solution. Don't wait for pain to become intolerable - consider massage therapy in addition to chiropractic or physician visits.

When the core muscles work in coordination with each other, they stabilize the spine and pelvis which can aid in the reduction of low back pain. However, they are prone to injury especially when the following activities are done:

• Lifting that requires leaning over something 
  
• Sitting slumped in a chair 
  
• Running on uneven pavement 
  
• Overuse of exercise equipment 
  
• Sudden, strenuous physical activity 
  
• Previous injury to the muscle 
  
• Blunt trauma from hitting 

Having to do these activities frequently causes repetitive trauma to your muscles, which eventually triggers lower back pain.

Around 4 out of 5 people have lower back pain at some point in their lives. Although some people are more likely to have lower back pain than others. Here are the risk factors for lower back pain:

1. Age - As you get older, back pain becomes more common. First back pain symptoms can even start at the age of around 30 for most people. The disks wear away as people age. As these disks weaken and wear down, pain and stiffness can result.
   
2. Weight - People who are overweight may experience sciatica and low back pain from a herniated disc. The excess weight puts pressure on joints and disks.
   
3. Occupation and lifestyle - Jobs and activities that require heavy lifting or bending can increase the risk of a back injury.
   
4. Disease - People who have a family history of osteoarthritis, certain types of cancer and other diseases have a higher risk of low back pain.
   
5. Mental Health - Back pain can result from depression and anxiety

Fortunately, there are methods proven to relieve the pain without needing medication or surgery. This is not to state that you should skip a consultation with your primary care provider. Of course, a doctor’s advice should always be taken as a primary care solution for any pain that you may be suffering. As a complementary step alongside your doctor’s prescriptions, you may work with a licensed massage therapist to get the best massage in Summerville.
