Feeling back pain? Here are several reasons why

Back pain is almost always a common sign of back injuries and lower back pain is the most common type of all. Back pain and back injuries are caused by several factors some of which are listed below:

1. Accidents like vehicular accidents, or falling from a bicycle or a horse.

2. Sports like taekwondo, football or even swimming.

3. Housework like gardening, and other chores like pushing or lifting heavy objects.

4. Occupations that require the exertion of physical labor, though inactive jobs that allow you to sit all day may also result to lower back pains especially with an uncomfortable chair.

5. Certain diseases like arthritis, osteoporosis and other cancers.

6. Genetics, because your genes help determine if you have weak, malleable bones.

7. Incorrect movements or patterns that start from childhood, if left uncorrected become habits and thus further distort the body’s correct anatomical position and give us poor posture which often lead to back pains and back injuries.
