Pain and stiffness in the lower back, i.e., the lumbar region, are often linked to prolonged repetitive strain and poor posture.

Local muscle tension develops, spinal mobility is affected, and it becomes increasingly difficult to find a comfortable position. The back tires quickly, creating a vicious cycle. The cause is often reduced joint function in the spine, which increases activity in the back muscles, leading to pain. A naprapath always investigates whether there are underlying causes for your lower back pain and if you should be referred to another healthcare provider for further examination.
