Low Back Pain

Low back pain is one of the most common conditions seen by health care professionals across the country. It can often be due to bad posture, the use of poor body mechanics or weak abdominal muscles.  Poor posture can cause a strain by overstretching your back muscles.  When you do not use proper body mechanics to lift, even light items such as a pencil, can cause undue strain on your back, leading to low back pain.  Finally, if you have weak abdominal muscles, the strain of moving your body or lifting objects will be transferred to your low back, resulting also in low back pain.
