Hidden Causes Of Lower Back Pain

A common misconception about back pain is that it derives from some previous injury. In actuality, the real reason behind your back pain is likely something you never would have guessed. Your body is very resilient and not likely to persistently bother you with something it is capable of healing itself, so we need to take a moment to look at other areas your pain could come from.

Hidden Causes Of Lower Back Pain

Once you start to experience pain, it is typically the result of several issues that have started to work against you. If you are just bending over and feeling pain or a sudden movement begets back pain, it likely isn't because of the bending over or the sudden movement. Rather, it is probably from an imbalance that has occurred in your body.

Hidden Cause Of Lower Back Pain #1:

If your back pain isn't because you fell off a bike when you were five or from that fender bender in the parking lot last year... what is it? Well, let's look at an example from another muscle group: the quadriceps. The muscles in your thighs, hamstrings and in your back are all designed to work together when you move. However, when one of these muscle groups starts to grow stronger than the others, this can create an imbalance in your body. It can even cause you to experience pain in your body. This pain may actually derive from an imbalance in your torso and go all the way down your hips verses one specific area.

Hidden Cause Of Lower Back Pain #2:

Trigger points may be another factor in your persistent back pain. Many doctors will prescribe physical therapy and cortisone injections to help with back pain, but I find that these are only temporary cures for the problem. Instead, trigger points can play a role in this process for many people. Most people aren't aware of it, but in their bodies there are trigger points that are located in the gluteal area. When they are triggered, they will show up on your body as pain in your lower back. You may find that no matter how much focus you put on fixing your lower back pain, it still won't go away. The solution to this may be fairly simple. Find the trigger point and apply pressure on it for 10 seconds to a full minute. Your body should then start to relax and you will notice an instant reduction to the pain. If toxins have built up, then you will need to increase your fluid intake to help reduce them from your system as well.

Hidden Cause Of Lower Back Pain #3:

Sad to say your emotions may also play a part in your back pain. When you feel emotional pain you don't realize that what hurts in your mind can also cause your body to hurt. Doctors will verify that your emotions may be leading to you feeling pain in your lower back, as well. It is advisable to look to heal your emotional pain and watch how it energizes and coaxes the entire body. They say that you can put mind over matter and it's encouraging to know that our bodies are inclined to work comprehensively to deal with our emotions and respond with little warnings for us that lead to our overall health.
