Why Your Lower Back Pain Keeps Returning

Hey everyone, welcome back to The Spine Connection, the podcast that helps you take control of your health. I’m Dr. Carpenter from Lexington Spinal Care, and today, we’re tackling one of the biggest complaints we hear in the office—lower back pain.

Now, if you’ve ever dealt with lower back pain, you know how frustrating it can be—especially when it keeps coming back. But why does that happen?

For most people, lower back pain isn’t just from one big injury—it’s from small, repetitive stress over time. That could mean a lot of things. 

It could be from sitting too much, which weakens your core and tightens your hip flexors.

It might be lack of movement. Your spine needs motion to stay healthy.

Or maybe it’s misalignment—if your spine isn’t in the right position, it puts uneven pressure on your back.

So how do we fix it?

Chiropractic adjustments can help. They correct spinal misalignments to relieve pressure and pain.

Core strengthening is also important. A strong core supports your lower back and prevents future pain.

Daily movement is a big one. Getting up and stretching regularly makes a big difference.

At Lexington Spinal Care, we don’t just mask pain—we treat the root cause so you can get lasting relief. If you’re ready to stop the cycle of back pain, give us a call. Let’s get you feeling your best again!
