What Causes Low Back Pain?
Most low back pain develops from a mix of factors rather than a single event. Long hours at a desk, weak core and hip muscles, poor lifting mechanics, sports injuries, and age-related changes in the spine can all contribute.
Identifying which factors apply to you is the first step toward lasting relief.
