Lower back pain can be caused by many different things. Often injury on the job or at home is a likely cause. Carrying around excess body weight, illness, using poor body mechanics when lifting can also cause injuries. Sometimes even fitness workouts done improperly or strain from overworked muscles is to blame.
What ever the cause, it takes the joy out of living and makes some of our day to day tasks quite daunting. Things like climbing out of bed, getting out of your car, or tying you shoe can cause you much grief.
Back pain is "un-fun!" So,"what to do" is the BIG question. One thing you don't want to do is just sit or lie around all day because of the pain. This will only worsen the situation by weakening your muscles.
Sometimes it will require a trip to the doctor's office to rule out serious underlying causes. The doctor may prescribe pain medications and physical therapy for several weeks. A physical therapist will use modalities such as heat, ice, muscle stimulation, massage, and exercise to help relieve back pain and strengthen the back muscles.
It doesn't matter how your pain started and whether you are facing surgery or not, the exercises for your lower back you will find here will benefit you greatly.
They will help to strengthen and sustain the muscles that
support your spine and if you just came out of surgery the healing process will go more smoothly since you went into the surgery with
strong back muscles.
