Health statistics have shown that 80% of the population will experience lower back pain at some point in their life. Often this is re-occurring and at times may be debilitating. Many factors lead to lower back pain, but the most common one is emotional stress. In most cases, lower back pain occurs during or after a stressful event or emotional stress. It is important to note that all emotions are physical and that lower back pain is telling you to change something in your life. If the spinal system is flexible and well adjusted, lower back pain due to stress is usually eliminated.
