- Inactive lifestyle
- Jobs that require heavy lifting
Back Pain Culprits:
- Your Job – A jobs that involves lifting, pulling, or anything that twists the spine. Sitting at a desk all day, especially if your chair is uncomfortable or you tend to slouch.
- Your Bag -- An overstuffed bag can strain the lower back, especially if you carry it day after day. If you must tote a heavy load, consider switching to a wheeled briefcase.
- Your Workout -- Overdoing it at the gym or golf course is one of the most common causes of overextended muscles. You're especially vulnerable if you tend to be inactive during the work week and then spend hours at the gym or softball field on the weekend.
- Your Posture -- Your back supports weight best when you don't slouch. This means sitting with good lumbar support for your lower back, shoulders back, and with feet resting on a low stool. When standing, keep weight evenly balanced on both feet.
- Herniated Disc -- The spine's vertebrae are cushioned by gel-like discs that are prone to wear and tear from aging or injuries. A weakened disc may rupture or bulge, putting pressure on the spinal nerve roots, and be the cause of intense pain.
- Chronic Conditions -- Such as spinal Stenosis (a narrowing of the space around the spinal cord), spondylitis (chronic back pain and stiffness due to severe inflammation of the spinal joints), and fibromyalgia (widespread muscle aches).
