There are many reasons that cause back pain and at Cliffs Chiropractor Southend our team of highly experienced chiropractors see many causes every day. However, we are often struck by how it comes as quite a surprise to many of our patients that simple everyday actions can have such an impact on their back.
Here are four common causes that cause back pain and you could very well be falling foul of at least one of these and putting your back in jeopardy:
• Sitting while a passive activity can do untold damage to back. Whether it’s at your desk, at home slouched on the sofa or sitting in your car sitting puts more pressure on your back than standing!
• Carrying heavy bags – increasingly women are carrying larger handbags and the growth of men bags highlights that the age of technology means we have more things to carry.
• High heels can be a killer on your feet but they can seriously impact your back.
• And finally smoking. We don’t know why yet but according to a Finnish review undertaken in 2010, smokers are about a third more likely to have lower-back pain.
