You Back Pain May Be Due to a Muscle!

December 9, 2020 Korey Pieper

Well, Your Back Pain Might Just Be a Muscle

Low Back Pain affects 8 out of every 10 Americans at some time in their lives and is on the rise with an increase in sedentary work style.

An estimated 54% of desk workers alone in the US experience some type of low back pain.

Meet Multifidus- a muscle in your back deep to the muscles you can feel with your hands in your lower back. This thin but very important muscle group attaches to every vertebrae giving your spine stiffness and stability. In addition, Multifidus takes pressure off your discs, helps keep the spine straight, distributes your body weight and activates BEFORE any action is performed. It prepares your back for movement.
