Causes of Lower Back Pain

Causes of Lower Back Pain

Most commonly, mechanical issues and soft-tissue injuries are the cause of low back pain. Lower back sprains caused by damage to the muscles and ligaments are the most common sources of back pain. A strain or sprain of the lower back muscles can develop slowly over time and increase in severity because of repetitive motions. Strains affect the muscle itself and occurs when it is stretched too far and tears. A sprain on the other hand affects the ligaments, which connect the bones together.
