Simply put, if you feel a dull ache or pain in your lumbar region following daily activities, you may have lower back pain.<\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” el_class=”no-padding”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”722″ img_size=”full” el_class=”no-padding”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”yellow-gradient” css=”.vc_custom_1593723729845{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text el_class=”px-5 pt-3 pb-3″ css=”.vc_custom_1593723717809{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Lower back pain is one of the most common pain problems in the US today and you may experience it at some point in your lifetime. For some, it can be a recurrent, chronic problem. And for many lower back pain sufferers, it\u2019s an obstacle that keeps you from being your best.

Lower back pain may be due to structural issues in the lower back including disc degeneration, disc alignment issues or nerve impingement. It is important to see your doctor to get a diagnosis and get a treatment plan.<\/p>\r\n

If you walk or run without properly supported feet, you may be stressing and straining your lower back. Impact can travel up your legs to your lumbar region where muscles supporting the back can get aggravated, causing you pain.<\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Shop Products for Lower Back Pain” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”text-uppercase”][vc_raw_html]JTVCcHJvZHVjdHNfc2xpZGVyJTIwY2F0cyUzRCUyMjE4MSUyMiUyMGF1dG9wbGF5JTNEJTIyZmFsc2UlMjIlMjBvcmRlcmJ5JTNEJTIybWVudV9vcmRlciUyMiU1RA==[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_class=”mt-5″ el_id=”what-can-i-do”][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″][vc_custom_heading text=”DON\u2019T LET LOWER BACK PAIN SLOW YOU DOWN” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”text-uppercase”][vc_column_text]\r\n
