What is the cause of lower back pain?
Your spine and back are made up of such delicate and complicated structure of muscles, bones, joints and nerves, so it’s no wonder that it can sometimes malfunction. Most back pain appears as a result of minor strains and pinched or irritated nerves. These problems usually result from postural problems such as sitting for long periods of time, hunching or slouching, bending awkwardly for long periods of time or lifting and carrying incorrectly.
