Health statistics reveals that low back pain affects more than half of the adult population every year. Statistics also shows that more than 10% of the population experiences frequent stretch of low back pain.
The susceptibility of low back to injury and pain is due to the fact that low back is a very unstable part of the spine. This instability enables us to have a great deal of mobility that enables us to touch our toes, tie our shoes or pick something from ground. This activity increases our risk of injury.
Low back can withstand tremendous forces without injury as long it is healthy. This is evident as per to Professional power lifters who can pick up heavy weight without injuring their low back. When the low back is not in proper adjustment or has weakened supporting muscles even simple activities such as picking up something from the floor or bending down to pet the cat can cause low back injury.
