Low Back Pain Q & A

Why does my low back hurt?

Low back pain is one of the most common types of musculoskeletal and joint pain among patients of all ages in the United States. Most cases of low back pain are related to soft tissue injuries and joint dysfunction. Movements and activities that cause low back pain include:

• Bending and twisting
• Spinal compression from high impact activities like running and jumping
• Lifting objects heavier than you’re used to lifting
• Lifting with your back rather than your legs
• Sitting or standing still for long periods

Postural changes associated with pregnancy and obesity can contribute to low back pain. At Brodbeck Regenerative Health, our team provides care for all types of lower back pain so you can get the relief you need.
