Many different things can contribute to lower back pain. If you regularly experience pain anywhere in the spinal column, it’s wise to work with a chiropractor. Dr. Michael Wilson at Kosak Chiropractic can provide lower back pain treatment in Fairfield, CA. Below, you’ll find some of the most common contributors, but this list is far from exhaustive.

Car Accidents

If you’ve been in a car accident, it may have caused strain on your lower back. While car accidents are more commonly associated with neck pain, the back can still end up sore and damaged.

Slip and Falls

There’s a high chance that you’ll suffer a tumble at some point even if you have great balance. Sometimes, a short rest is enough to get back on your feet. Many people find that they suffer chronic pain after falling, however, and lower back pain is one of the more common aches.

Sports Injuries

Many different injuries can produce lower back pain. However, sports injuries can be especially problematic because the damage can build up over time. While overexercising or exercising with poor technique isn’t as dramatic as a car accident, it can still cause a lot of issues.

Furniture with Poor Ergonomics

One of the most common causes of back pain is furniture that doesn’t offer enough lumbar support. The chair at your office or the position of your car seat may be the culprit. A sagging old recliner may be the problem, or even your pillow. However, even with ergonomic furniture, you have to maintain good posture.

Posture

Poor posture can be one of the most difficult-to-treat causes of lower back pain. That’s because you can’t simply treat the pain but must also change how you subconsciously carry yourself. This can require quite a bit of effort but may provide crucial for long-term relief.

Bad Shoes

If your shoes don’t provide enough support, pain can quickly spread from your feet and legs to your lower back. The good news is that custom orthotics could resolve pain not only in your feet and legs, but in your lower back as well.

There are various other causes of backaches. If you need help with lower back pain in Fairfield, CA, call (707) 426 1111 to reach Kosak Chiropractic. Dr. Wilson can help you identify contributing factors and find the right treatment.
