What Is Low Back Pain?
Low back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care. It can feel sharp, achy, tight, or stiff — and often makes everyday activities like sitting, lifting, driving, or getting out of bed uncomfortable.
Many patients describe low back pain as something that “keeps coming back,” especially with busy schedules, prolonged sitting, or physically demanding work. The good news? Thoughtful, personalized chiropractic care may help ease low back pain and support healthy movement.
Common Symptoms
-
Aching or stiffness in the lower back
-
Sharp pain with bending or lifting
-
Pain that worsens after sitting or driving
-
Tightness across the hips or pelvis
-
Difficulty standing upright or moving comfortably
Common Causes
Low back pain can come from several everyday habits or physical stressors, including:
-
Postural strain from sitting, driving, or screen use
-
Muscle tension from stress or overuse
-
Joint misalignment in the lumbar spine
-
Repetitive strain from work or lifting
-
Weak core or hip stability
-
Old injuries that flare up with activity
