The cause of most low back pain
The main cause of most low back pain is a shortened Psoas muscle. This muscle
attaches to each of the low back vertebrae and causes compression to this area as
well as tilting the pelvis forward, making muscles contract and having us arch to
stand erect. Long term compression on the vertebrae breaks down the lumbar discs,
causing bulging or herniated discs and degeneration to our spine.
