The biggest worry of patients who see a doctor for low back pain is that they have a lumbar disc herniation. However, studies and statistics have shown that the most common cause of low back pain is usually mechanical low back pain resulting from poor posture. The lower back has a natural anatomical curve that is concave toward the back. This curve is called lordosis.
Prolonged sitting at work, bending forward and similar factors cause this curve in the lower back to flatten. As a result of lumbar flattening, the muscles on both sides of the spine remain tense and cause pain. Although the pain improves with painkillers and muscle relaxants, poor posture and incorrect movements prevent lasting improvement. After a while, patients have to see the doctor again with the same complaints.
