What causes low back pain?

September 19th, 2025

Low back pain may come from muscle strain, poor posture, disc herniation, arthritis, or nerve irritation. At MEX Physio in Milton, we identify the root cause using a thorough assessment and provide treatments such as McKenzie Method, Active Release Therapy (ART), and corrective exercises for long-lasting relief. Research shows most low back pain is “non-specific,” with multiple contributing factors (Maher et al., 2017). That’s why our comprehensive approach targets movement, strength, and lifestyle habits to prevent flare-ups.
