What Causes Lower Back Pain? Key Factors to Know
Lower back pain arises from various causes, including:
a. Muscle Strain or Overuse: Repetitive motion, heavy lifting, or sudden movements can overstretch muscles.
b. Poor Posture: Prolonged sitting, especially with poor ergonomics, places strain on the lower back.
c. Injury or Trauma: Sports injuries or accidents may damage muscles, ligaments, or discs.
d. Degenerative Conditions: Arthritis, disc herniation, or spinal stenosis contribute to chronic pain.
e. Stress and Muscle Tension: Emotional stress can cause muscles to tighten and worsen pain.
Recognizing the root cause helps guide treatment. For muscle-related discomfort, explore our specialized Muscle Tension and Stiffness Relief Massage to unwind and restore flexibility.
