Common Causes of Chronic Back Pain

Have you been experiencing back pain for the last 6 weeks? If so, you may have chronic back pain. Chronic back pain is very common and isn’t usually caused by an activity nor does it heal by itself. There are a few things that may have happened or are happening that caused the chronic pain:

  • Traumatic Event: Car accidents, slipping on ice, and tripping can all be causes of chronic back pain. These accidents can make your spine weak and cause pain. 
  • Sitting too long: When you sit for too long you put stress on your back.
  • Poor Posture: Having poor posture puts your spine into a slouching position and it isn’t supported. Your back needs to be straight and supported to prevent pain.
