Spending long hours sitting—especially with poor posture—places continuous stress on your spine. Over time, this can weaken your back muscles and lead to misalignment, stiffness, and pain.

When certain muscles become overused and others are underused (like weak core muscles), your spine loses proper support. This imbalance can cause strain, leading to conditions like lower back pain or even disc problems.

Lifting heavy objects incorrectly, sudden trauma, or repeated physical strain can damage the spine, muscles, or discs. Even small, repetitive actions—like bending or twisting—can build up and cause chronic pain.

As we age, the spine undergoes natural wear and tear. Discs may lose hydration and shrink, joints can become arthritic, and nerves may become compressed, all of which contribute to back pain.
