There are many lower back pain causes .  The entire spine comprises of numerous moving parts working together to help you move.  The lower back also known as the lumbar spine bears the weight of everything above it.  This makes lower back pain one of the most common condition 80% of adults will experience in their lifetime.  Most sufferers of lower back pain spend most of the time sitting which can create more problems.  Lower back pain can be categorized into acute back injury and chronic pain.
