It is extremely common the presence of patients with back pain as the back is the main hub that supports the entire physical burden.

The lumbar spine as a lever of first grade takes all the strength and power to which we subject the laws of physics for a place in space. Everything rests on it when we are tired, we lift a heavy object or we take a wrong position, the back is affected.
But everybody do not feel the same pain, despite appearances.

The lumbar back pain is a painful inflammation of the lumbar or lower back area, the causes may be:

- Efforts in the wrong position: to work continuously in poor posture, long time ironing clothes, lift many weights, doing some field work.

- A pulled muscle: Sometimes a sudden movement can trigger it. Quite often when we do physical exercise without warming.

- Intestinal gas and constipation: it is curious how many people with gas or abdominal bloating suffer chronic constipation. The weakness of the abdominal muscles is the cause.

- Muscle tension stress: lack of muscle relaxation gets back and just weakening the area.

- Mechanical problems that weaken the area as osteoarthritis and disc herniation.
Some people have one leg longer than the other, most of these cases only indicate that the spine has scoliosis deformity.

- Go wrong footwear: high heels excessively oblige adopting a position that creates an ongoing tension in the lumbar region.

- Risk factors: long periods of sitting or standing, inactivity and obesity. These factors also contribute to low back pain occurs, infection, arthritis, inflammation or damage to spinal discs.

As a matter of fact a painful lumbar processes can manifest themselves in different ways. They are: Inflammatory root compression: immediate-onset pain, which may extend into the leg, often not beyond the knee, usually without radiculitis. It is produced by a twisting of the trunk or flexion and extension effort. Acute nerve root compression, nerve root acutely in 90 percent caused by herniated disk. Root entrapment: Irritation of the nerve root by the development of degenerative (osteoarthritis). Consult your doctor urgently if appear new symptoms like: fever, abnormal urine, feces or gynecological disorders.

In order to prevent further episodes you can follow a few simple rules: Wear comfortable shoes with low heels. In bed, put a pillow under your back or under your knees if you sleep on your side with your knees bent and a pillow between them. Join gradually to daily activities. If you must lift weights, bend your knees to force and make them keeping the object close to your body.

Also lose weight if overweight. Do not stay too long sitting or standing. Perform each exercise for 2 hours stretching the lumbar musculature: in a standing position bend forward and backward. Avoid sudden movements, adopt good posture, warm up before exercising. Do exercises in the workplace. Use belt at the waist for all work activities that require straining or indispensable demonstrations involving the lumbar spine.
