Possible Causes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are a number of causes<\/span> for low back pain. Among the most common are issues related to the vertebral joints and discs between the vertebrae, muscular injury and core weakness. These factors can cause pain that may limit your ability to participate in recreational sports and activities of daily living.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits of Core Strengthening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The spine is supported, in part, by the bony and ligamentous aspects of its structure. In addition to these, the abdominal muscles, generally referred to as \u201cthe core,\u201d provide support to the spine during activity. The transverse abdominis muscle is one part of this group that can often be overlooked in casual strength training. It is the deepest of the abdominal muscles and provides stability to the spine and pelvis to allow the limbs to move without disruption of normal spinal alignment. Strengthening this muscle can increase the stability of the spine and ultimately help alleviate low back pain in some cases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
