Back Pain
Back pain can be painful, debilitating and
persistent, and some people suffer repeated
episodes. It can also be associated with other
symptoms, such as leg pain or sciatica. It may
start following a specific incident, such as
bending awkwardly or lifting a heavy weight, or
it can develop gradually, perhaps as a result of
poor posture, an uncomfortable work position, or
repetitive strain.

Causes of Lower Back Pain
The back is a complicated structure of bones,
joints, ligaments and muscles. You can sprain
ligaments, strain muscles, rupture disks, and
irritate joints, all of which can lead to back
pain. While sports injuries or accidents can
cause back pain, sometimes the simplest of
movementsfor example, picking up a pencil from
the floor can have painful results. In addition,
arthritis, poor posture, obesity, and
psychological stress can cause or complicate back
pain. Back pain can also directly result from
disease of the internal organs, such as kidney
stones, kidney infections, blood clots, or bone
loss.

  chiropractor.

• Warm up or stretch before exercising or physical
  activities, such as gardening.
• Maintain proper posture.
• Sleep on a mattress of medium firmness to
  minimize any curve in your spine.

  keep the object close to your body, and do not
