Back pain can range from a dull ache to sudden sharp pain, and can last a few weeks if not treated. Many cases of low back pain are triggered by any combination of the following; muscle strain, stress/tension, overuse and injury to the spinal discs. The causes of low
back pain seem to accumulate over time and over multiple small incidents. Muscle strain leads to imbalances in the spinal discs which leads to tension in the muscles and ligaments in the back. This makes injury or re-injury more likely, because after straining muscles, people often move in different ways to avoid using their sore muscles and prevent pain but it cause strain on other muscles. Often our bodies try to fix “our problems” through compensation; but often this fails. “Pain” is our bodies way of telling us “enough is enough, we cant compensate anymore”.
