Lower back pain when standing for a long time can be due to how the spine reacts to pressure or because of conditions like spinal stenosis.
Standing for long periods can cause lower back pain due to several reasons. One reason is how the spine handles pressure. When you stand, the spine may experience vibrations or stress that can lead to discomfort or pain.
Another reason could be spinal stenosis, which is a condition where the spaces in the spine narrow. This narrowing can put pressure on the nerves and lead to pain, especially when standing for too long.
Understanding these causes can help in managing and preventing lower back pain during prolonged standing.
