What Causes Lower Back Pain?

Lower back pain affects many Americans with most adults experiencing lower back pain at least once in their life. It can just be a dull, constant ache or a sharp, sudden pain.

Seeing a chiropractor can help you relieve the pain and prevent permanent damage caused by chronic lower back pain.

What causes lower back pain?

Sitting for long periods of time, hunched over your desk, without getting up and moving can cause low back pain. Sitting for too long can alter the normal curve of your lower back, which leads to stiffness and can cause neck and lower back pain.

A pinched nerve can also cause lower back pain. A visit to a chiropractor can determine if you have a pinched nerve. Your chiropractor will find the pinched nerve and reposition the bone or muscle to ease tension on the nerve, allowing it to work properly. Pain radiating down your leg suggests sciatica pain due to irritated nerves.
