What Causes
Lower Back Pain?
Lower Back pain is one of the most common types of pain experienced by people worldwide. Experts report that 80% of the population is affected by lower back pain during their lives. Not surprising since it is a condition that affects everyone from children to the elderly.
The back is a complex network of muscles, bones, ligaments, and joints, and there are many possible ways to develop pain in this area through injury, poor posture, muscle fatigue, and even illness.
To give you an idea of the numerous possible sources of your back pain, here is a list of the most problematic muscles and soft tissue areas in your lower back: (From most to least problematic.)
Gluteus medius, Psoas/ Iliacus, Deep Spinal Muscles, Superficial Spinal Muscles, Quadratus Lumborum, Gluteus Maximus, Rectus Abdominis, Soleus, and Pelvic Floor Muscles.
Thankfully, most lower back pain can be categorized as mechanical or non-organic, which means that a severe medical condition does not cause it. The pain affecting your lower back can be broken down into two categories:

What are the Effects of Lower Back Pain?
As mentioned before, the effects of lower back pain can run deep, affecting your body’s mobility, as well as your cognitive function and emotional health. The effects of acute or chronic lower back pain range significantly, affecting your fitness, work performance, family time, and other social interactions.
Generally, most symptoms include:
- Disrupted sleep patterns
- Limited mobility and flexibility
- Exercise prevention
- Inability to complete basic household chores
- Social isolation
- Mood swings and depression
- Decreased cognitive function (critical thinking, reasoning, focus, and memory)
Lower back pain manifests in a variety of ways that can tremendously affect the way you live. Below we take a closer look at how this commonly ignored pain can damage critical areas of your life if left unresolved.
Elevate Your Life with a Lower Back Pain Specialist in Los Angeles
Americans spend over $50 billion in healthcare each year as a direct result of lower back pain! The financial stress alone is enough to cause a strain in any family or relationship. However, when in combination with the pain and limited physical mobility, lower back problems can result in mild to severe depression. This frame of thought then, unfortunately, leads to social isolation, as you try to prevent the spread of your symptoms to your loved ones. Many of our clients report that while experiencing lower back problems, they subconsciously pushed away family members, canceled vacation plans, or even going as far as lashing out uncharacteristic temperament.
When the pain begins to take over your life, you almost become a different person! The Massage Rx Team understands that not only your health but your livelihood is on the line. Our methods are unlike your average massage studio. We first help you relieve your pain and then equip you with the tools needed to prevent future suffering long after your session.
How does Lower Back Pain Affect Work Performance?
Lower back pain accounts for an estimated 264 million missed workdays in the United States every year. These days are lost usually when the pain becomes unbearable, and you have no other choice, but the real damage occurs in the months or even years leading up to you calling in sick. Since your sleep pattern becomes disrupted, your mood then shifts unexpectedly due to a lack of rest, making it harder to maintain a positive work demeanor. Along with this change in your attitude, your reasoning skills become more sporadic and shallow.
The combination of these 3 effects, along with the physical pain, can be detrimental to overall performance and may cause you to lose out on that next big promotion. At Massage Rx, we train our therapists to relieve your lower back pain through a rigorous assessment to find the root cause of your pain, because we know that improving your health means elevating your life as well!
*Please note, it is our professional recommendation that you visit your doctor if you are experiencing severe debilitating back pain.
