  Low Back Pain

The low back (lumbar spine) is a common site for pain. Low back pain may be caused by something as simple as poor posture or as complex as a herniated disk. The small cushions (disks) between the bones (vertebrae) of the spinal column are frequently the cause of the problem. These disks can tear, bulge, rupture, dry out or stretch. Any time the disks become injured they lose their ability to absorb shock and cushion the vertebrae.
