CAUSES OF LOWER BACK PAIN
Acute low back pain that comes on suddenly is often related to an injury from sports or heavy lifting.
Lower back pain that tends to be chronic is usually from a previous acute injury or compounded smaller injuries that have caused areas of scar tissue to form as part of the natural repair process. These areas are stiff and frequently flare up when the scar tissue is stressed or pulled on. When this occurs our body uses the larger muscles in the lower back to guard and protect after the inhibiting the smaller deeper muscles. Recent studies have shown that prolonged sitting and not enough movement causes small deposits of scar tissue. It has been said that “Sitting is the new smoking”.

LONG TERM PROBLEMS DUE TO IGNORING LOWER BACK PAIN
One of the biggest problems that can occur from ignoring lower back pain is degenerative joint disease or osteoarthritis. Movement is necessary to circulate blood to the shock absorbers (intervertebral discs) between the vertebrae. Prolonged periods of stiffness or lack of movement will cause an accelerated degeneration of the discs. These effects are manageable but often not reversible.
