Accidents
Car Accidents in South Florida are all too common and are a major reason why many suffer with back pain. Whiplash can occur at any speed above 8.2mph. So even the “minor fender bender” can be enough to cause back pain.
Sports Injuries
Athletes of all ages can sustain injuries with playing sports or training. If you play an individual sport or team sport its important that you don’t neglect your body and listen to the warning signs of injury. Far too often athletes “push” through and find themselves in worse positions.
Poor Ergonomics
Work related injuries due to poor ergonomics is a very common occurrence. We can sometimes spend 8-12 hours at a job over 5 days a week. This can last for years. Its important to know that a little trauma over long periods of time can lead to major back pain.
Poor Posture
Our society is plagued with poor posture and a big cause for this is technology. Computers, phones and tablets have us hunched over for hours. This type of posture is extremely detrimental for developing children and can be just as bad for other ages as well.
Pregnancy
Ask almost any mom who has been pregnant and they will tell you that back pain is something they had. Not all women struggle with it but a vast majority do. As your baby develops your spine and pelvis go through changes. This added weight and change can cause back pain. Hormonal changes later in pregnancy can cause lasting back pain. As your body changes through pregnancy and even more so after, its important to get your spine and pelvis checked so that it can fully heal.
