Those individuals who experience low back-problems may have been enjoying a high level of functioning.  Often they are responsible types who not only can take care of themselves but also have stores of energy left over from helping others.  They might thin nothing of lifting a sixty-pound box out of the back seat of the car.  Then a few days later they bend down and can not stand up.  Panic then steps in.  They wonder how long will this take to fix as a ton of work needs done.   The lower back represents our sense of stability, everything that holds our lives together.   Utilizing these methods may assist you in your daily life with back pain.
