Common Causes of Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain can develop gradually or appear suddenly. Some common causes include:

• Poor posture from sitting at a desk or driving long hours

• Muscle strain from heavy lifting or repetitive movements

• Spinal misalignments creating imbalance

• Injuries or accidents (even minor ones)

• Sedentary lifestyle leading to weak muscles and tight joints

Why Medication Isn’t Enough

Over-the-counter or prescription painkillers may dull the discomfort, but they don’t fix the problem. Without addressing the underlying cause, pain often returns.

How Chiropractic Care Helps

Chiropractic adjustments target the root issue by:

• Restoring proper alignment of the spine

• Reducing pressure on nerves

• Relaxing tight muscles and improving flexibility

• Supporting the body’s natural healing process

Patients often report not just pain relief, but improved energy, sleep, and overall wellness.
