Each muscle merges into a tendon, which then crosses over a joint and inserts into a bone. When the muscle contracts it will pull on the tendon and the joint moves.<\/p>\n<p>Your spine has 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, and 5 lumbar vertebrae, each separated by a gelatinous disk that acts as a cushion to separate the bones and protect them from wear. Muscles span your entire spine, in some cases originating on the vertebrae and connecting each vertebra to the next, in some cases the muscles originate on the ribs and insert into the vertebrae in order to move your spine in the infinite number of angles, and in other cases the muscles originate on your vertebrae and insert into moveable bones such as your shoulder blade, pulling it in various directions.<\/p>\n<p>In order to move in the opposite direction, the contracted muscle needs to relax to remove the strain from the bone, and the muscle on the opposite side contracts to pull the bone in the opposite direction. If the muscle that needs to release is in a spasm it can\u2019t relax, and you have the muscles pulling in two opposite directions \u2013 and you have back pain.<\/p>\n<p>The answer to what causes back pain is so broad that it needs to be broken down into four categories:<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center; color: #339966;\"><strong>(1)\u00a0\u00a0 Why a Muscular Component Can Be What Causes Back Pain<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Back pain is commonly caused by repetitively straining the muscles that insert into the vertebrae and ribs.\u00a0 The list of muscles that insert into the bones of your back is long, with each muscle potentially causing pain when it is in spasm and pulling on the bone. Your back is a system of overlapping muscles, so many times when you are treating a muscle for one thing, you are also treating the source of a totally different problem.<\/p>\n<p>This commonly happens when you are treating a thigh muscle that causes knee pain, but is also a key muscle that causes back pain, groin pain, and sciatica.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center; color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Natural Remedies for Back Pain<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chaneyhealth.com\/healthtips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/natural-remedies-for-back-pain.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1302\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chaneyhealth.com\/healthtips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/natural-remedies-for-back-pain.jpg\" alt=\"natural remedies for back\" width=\"200\" height=\"267\" \/><\/a>Treating the muscle is one of the natural remedies for back pain. For this muscle treatment I suggest you use a 12\u2033x 1 1\/2\u2033 length of PVC pipe and slide (don\u2019t roll) from the top of your thigh to just above your knee.\u00a0 The main area of treatment is shown in this picture.\u00a0 It\u2019s NOT on the front of your thigh, and it\u2019s NOT on the outside of your thigh, but instead it is in between these two lines.<\/p>\n<p>As you go down your thigh you\u2019ll go over several \u201cbumps,\u201d which are actually large spasms that are pulling down on the front of your pelvis. The pelvis rotation causes a strain on your low back, and presses your posterior pelvis up into your sciatic nerve.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a lot more to this muscle, but it\u2019s so broad that it can\u2019t be explained properly here. In fact, each of the muscles that cause back pain are fully explained, and treatments are demonstrated in my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.triggerpointyoga.com\/product\/triggerpoint-yoga-full-body-kit\/?ap_id=SteveChaneyTips\" target=\"_blank\">Trigger Point Yoga kit<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center; color: #339966;\">(2) Why a Bulging or Herniated Disk Causes Back Pain<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chaneyhealth.com\/healthtips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/herniated-disk-can-be-what-causes-back-pain.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1303\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chaneyhealth.com\/healthtips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/herniated-disk-can-be-what-causes-back-pain-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"herniated disk can be what causes back pain\" width=\"229\" height=\"229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chaneyhealth.com\/healthtips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/herniated-disk-can-be-what-causes-back-pain.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.chaneyhealth.com\/healthtips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/herniated-disk-can-be-what-causes-back-pain-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.chaneyhealth.com\/healthtips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/herniated-disk-can-be-what-causes-back-pain-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.chaneyhealth.com\/healthtips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/herniated-disk-can-be-what-causes-back-pain-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 229px) 100vw, 229px\" \/><\/a>The disk between each vertebra is meant to be a cushion for the bones so they don\u2019t rub on each other.\u00a0 However, tight muscles that originate on each vertebra can pull the bones together, pressing down on the disks and cause them to either bulge in the opposite direction, or herniate.\u00a0 For example, if the muscles on the right side of the spine are tight, they will bring the vertebrae closer together on the right, causing the disk to bulge toward the left.<\/p>\n<p>If the muscles on both sides of the spine are tight, they will draw the vertebrae closer together and potentially cause the disk to herniate.<\/p>\n<p><em>In either case the disks will put pressure on the spinal cord<\/em> and causes back pain to be severe in that area.\u00a0 However, if it is treated before permanent damage is done, releasing the muscle tension on the vertebrae will move the bones off the disk and the pain will be eliminated.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center; color: #339966;\">(3) Why a Vertebra Out of Alignment Can Be What Causes Back Pain<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chaneyhealth.com\/healthtips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/out-of-alignment-can-cause-back-pain.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1304\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chaneyhealth.com\/healthtips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/out-of-alignment-can-cause-back-pain.jpg\" alt=\"out of alignment can cause back pain\" width=\"229\" height=\"229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chaneyhealth.com\/healthtips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/out-of-alignment-can-cause-back-pain.jpg 275w, https:\/\/www.chaneyhealth.com\/healthtips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/out-of-alignment-can-cause-back-pain-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.chaneyhealth.com\/healthtips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/out-of-alignment-can-cause-back-pain-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.chaneyhealth.com\/healthtips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/out-of-alignment-can-cause-back-pain-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 229px) 100vw, 229px\" \/><\/a>Your spine stays in perfect alignment because muscles are putting the exact amount of \u201cpull\u201d on each side. In fact, without muscles the spine would just hang straight and not be able to move at all \u2014 like a skeleton on a hook.\u00a0 It is only because of muscles that the spine has any mobility at all.<\/p>\n<p>The only way a vertebrae can move is either by a traumatic accident (such as falling down a flight of steps, or having a car accident), or by muscles pulling on the bones.<\/p>\n<p>However, if muscles are pulling more on one side than the other the vertebrae will move toward the tight muscles.<\/p>\n<p>The tension in the muscles must be released first if the bones are to be moved back into alignment and not be pulled out again by the tight muscles.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center; color: #339966;\">(4) Scoliosis, Osteoporosis, Spinal Stenosis, and other Causes of Back Pain<\/h2>\n<p>There are medical conditions such as scoliosis, osteoporosis, spinal stenosis, diabetes, and cancer that are also causes of back pain.\u00a0 These are serious conditions that need medical attention.\u00a0 It is always important to eliminate the possibility of any serious health risks before embarking on a path of treatment for back pain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Obviously, as noted in #4 above, there are medical causes of back pain, but it is clear that the one that is consistently overlooked, and therefore not treated, is the muscular component.\u00a0 My experience with thousands of clients over the years, both at my office and virtually online, is that muscles are frequently what causes back pain, and that the pain can be lessened or eliminated by treating the tight muscles demonstrating one of the natural remedies of back pain.<\/p>\n<p>You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain, by exploring the muscular component to back pain!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Wishing you well,<\/p>\n<p>Julie Donnelly<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #d64514;\"><em>These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
