LOWER BACK PAIN – IT’S JUST MUSCULAR…. MY SPINE IS OUT!
These are some of the common ways people describe their physical aches and pains particularly lower back pain.
Often, it’s both. Joints have gotta move and so does the soft tissue.
THE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF LOWER BACK PAIN IS OFTEN MUSCULAR IMBALANCE FROM BEING IN SACRIFICED POSITIONS FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME…
I hope you are at a stand- up desk reading this. These muscular imbalances are encoded into our body via our nervous system aka muscle memory.
ON TOP OF THIS, THESE MUSCULAR IMBALANCES ARE MADE WORSE BY REPETITION, POOR LIFTING TECHNIQUES, OTHER LIFESTYLE FACTORS WHICH ACCUMULATE AND THEN LEAD TO WORSE THINGS LIKE LUMBAR SPRAINS/STRAINS & DISC HERNIATION
The human body is a dynamic thing composed of many parts. It is called the musculoskeletal system. Our musculoskeletal system consists of the skeleton its joints, muscles, fascia cartilage tendons ligaments joints and other connective tissue and how all these components move and interact with each other. The human body is a system with many moving parts. Everything is connected from your toes to your nose. To simply think pain is “just muscular or my spine is out” is really out dated and not really the lingo we use these day to describe what is actually going on.
WE AS YOUR CHOSEN AND TRUSTED PHYSICAL THERAPIST (CHIRO/PHYSIO/SOFT TISSUE THERAPIST) MUST ACCURATELY ASSESS, NOT GUESS.
IT JUST NEEDS A CRACK? LOL I HEAR THIS ONE OCCASIONALLY.
