Low Back Pain: Finding Relief and Regaining Your Life

Low back pain is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide.

At Alt-Fam Med, we’re here to help you understand the causes of your low back pain and guide you toward effective solutions tailored to your needs.

What Causes Low Back Pain?

Low back pain can arise from a variety of factors, including:

  • Muscle Strain: Overuse, poor posture, or sudden movements can lead to strained muscles and ligaments.
  • Herniated Discs: A slipped or ruptured disc can press on nerves, causing pain.
  • Degenerative Changes: Conditions like osteoarthritis or spinal stenosis may contribute to chronic discomfort.
  • Injuries or Accidents: Traumatic events can result in acute or lingering back pain.
  • Lifestyle Factors: Sedentary habits, obesity, and stress can exacerbate back problems.

No matter the cause, identifying the root of your pain is the first step toward relief.

Simple Tips to Prevent Low Back Pain

While professional treatment is essential for persistent pain, adopting healthy habits can reduce your risk of future issues:

  • Maintain good posture, whether sitting or standing.
  • Use ergonomic furniture and supportive mattresses.
  • Stay active with low-impact exercises like walking, swimming, or yoga.
  • Lift heavy objects properly by bending at your knees, not your waist.
  • Manage stress through relaxation techniques or counseling.

These small changes can make a big difference in protecting your back and overall health.
