The core muscles include the muscles of the abdomen, lower back, and pelvis. These muscles work together to support and stabilize the spine during movement.
When the core muscles are weak, the spine may not be properly supported and may be more susceptible to injury or strain. This can lead to back pain, especially in the lower back. This lack of support can lead to poor posture, which places extra strain on your back muscles, joints, and discs, causing back pain. Additionally, weak core muscles can cause your hips and pelvis to tilt forward, creating a misalignment that further aggravates your back. Strengthening your core muscles can help alleviate back pain by providing adequate support for your spine and improving your posture.
If your back pain persists, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the cause and develop a treatment plan. This may include exercises to strengthen the core muscles, as well as other therapies or interventions to address any underlying issues.
