Why You Might Experience Low Back Pain
Your low back bears the weight of your entire upper body. Different structures in the low back can produce pain, whether it be the lumbar discs, facet joints, nerves, and muscles. There are plenty of other causes, but the lumbar disc is primarily the source of low back pain. A healthy lumbar disc is made of cartilage and helps to absorb shock. However, when unhealthy, cartilage can lead to inflammation which causes pain. The primary source being the lumbar disc which is made up of cartilage.

Other common causes of lower back pain include:
Muscular Strain
Did you go a little too hard at the gym? Overexertion and improper lifting techniques can strain your back muscles, resulting in pain and limited mobility. Targeted exercises that strengthen and stabilize your lower back can alleviate discomfort and prevent similar injuries in the future.
Bulging and Herniated Discs
When one of the cushiony discs between your vertebrae ruptures or bulges, it can lead to pain and discomfort in your lower back. While herniated discs usually heal on their own, we’ll offer pain management strategies and strengthening exercises to relieve discomfort and restore function.

As you age, your spinal discs can start to wear down, leading to a loss of their shock-absorbing properties–and an increase in lower back pain. We’ll work with you to slow the progression of disc degeneration by improving strength and mobility in your back.
Poor Posture
When you slouch or spend too much time sitting, it leads to stress on the spine and surrounding muscles, leading to pain and discomfort. We’ll show you proven techniques for correcting postural impairments and strengthening your core so your spine gets the support it needs.
