End the Vicious Cycle of Back Pain
Back discomfort can be debilitating for anyone experiencing it. Living with back pain often means being plagued by the inability to sleep, stiffness, and difficulty doing activities we love. This discomfort and pain impact our ability to run, rock climb or hike, garden, walk the dog or play with our grandchildren. Back pain can affect everyone including, young athletes to active parents or older adults.
With many conditions, when you have pain or discomfort in one area of the body, and you don’t handle it, it can start impacting another area of your body.
Back pain is no different. Back problems can make it difficult for you to complete your daily routine, whether that be going to the gym or just walking around the house to get various chores done. If you let this condition decrease your activity level, you are increasing your level of dysfunction. As your dysfunction increases, you will increase your pain level. This is a vicious cycle.
Some common causes of back pain include:
- Poor Posture
- Core Weakness
- Poor Mechanics
- Weak Gluteal Muscles
- Degeneration
