Walking & Low Back Pain

5 of the most dangerous words in the human language when it comes to health are “maybe it will go away”. When it comes to back issues it is extra important that you deal with it as close to the onset as possible. The longer you put off treatment the more likely it is that the problem might become permanent or chronic. Two laws of nature when it comes to healing are rest and time. It is very o=important that when you are treating a low back problem that you give yourself time to heal.

Low pain has a dynamic effect on gait. Walking can be seriously affected by issues with your lower back. The movement of the lower extremity in people with low back pain is altered significantly. Studies have shown walking affects people with lower back pain.

Many people that have an abnormal gait can often be attributed to lower back problems. Chronic lower back pain creates long standing problems with walking. It is easy to see that the relationship with proper gait and a healthy low back goes hand and hand.
