Lower back pain when sitting or bending over might be related to how the spine reacts to positions and movements like bending and vibration.
When you sit down or bend over, your lower back might hurt due to how the spine handles these movements. According to research, the spine can be affected by vibrations, which may lead to low back pain. This happens because the spine is sensitive to certain movements and positions, especially if they are repeated often or involve heavy vibration.
Another study suggests that bending backward can affect the discs in the lower back. These discs are like cushions between the bones in your spine. When you bend over, the pressure on these discs changes, which might cause discomfort or pain.
Understanding these factors can help explain why your back hurts in certain positions. It’s important to be mindful of your posture and movements to help manage discomfort.
