Lower back pain<\/strong> is a common condition affecting the lumbar region, which starts below the ribcage. It is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide and can stem from issues with the spinal muscles, nerves, bones, or discs. Because the lower back supports most of your body weight, it is highly susceptible to strain and injury. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improper Lifting:<\/strong> Using the back muscles instead of the legs to lift heavy objects or twisting while lifting. 
Poor Posture:<\/strong> Prolonged sitting, especially with a “slumped” posture, puts excessive pressure on the spinal discs and ligaments. 
Sudden Movements:<\/strong> A fall, sports injury, or sudden jar to the spine can cause acute muscle or ligament tears. 
Repetitive Stress:<\/strong> Constant bending or vibration (such as long-distance driving) can cause wear and tear over time.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
