Back pain may be caused by poor posture, muscle imbalances, excessive weight or by trauma. All of these factors can lead to a general poor 'core stability' - the buzz word in the fitness industry over past years. A lot of stress can then be placed on incorrect musculature and joints through out the back eventually causing pain, discomfort and leading to a degree of disability. Without sufficient strength and flexibility throughout spine, pelvis and hips, problems may worsen.
Rest from aggravating factors and addressing poor posture is the best action to be taken, along with taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g. ibuprofen, or diclofenac). It is best to seek medical advice via a GP or a physiotherapist for an accurate diagnosis and provision of an exercises regime to counter the problem.
