The lumbar spine which is commonly known as the lower back is a part of the human body in which most adults encounter a problem with it at some point in their life such as lower back pain. Back pain for certain individuals differ in many ways because some might suffer from it for quite some time while others are fortunate enough to experience it for only a temporary phase. Due to the fact that the level of lower back pain differs in many adults there could be a number of reasons for its cause. For example the lumbar spine could be affected because someone picked up an object and didn’t bend their knees or you could end up with the pain because you were slouching at your desk for a couple of hours while working on the computer.

There are some methods that can be used to treat and prevent this condition. Chronic back pain sufferers should use heat therapy because it will relieve tightness in that area of the back while promoting steady blood flow. Inflammation can be reduced from using gel packs or ice because it can also numb the pain of the affected area. Having good posture will prevent lower back pain. Also get into a habit of bending your knees when picking up anything off of the floor. As I said before the causes of lower back pain differs for certain individuals because some might suffer from strains while others could’ve encountered a muscle pull and anyone who has suffered for a long period of time from this ailment should visit a chiropractor or a physician.
