Lower Left Back Pain

Would You Like to be Able to Touch Your Toes Again?

Lower Left Back Pain is as common as lower right back pain. They are both similar events caused by the same mechanisms. Either way, when you have lower back pain on the left side, touching your toes is a dream not a reality.

Read on to find out what you can do to ease your pain and the only vital step in relieving your pain completely. But first...

When you bend forward, no matter whether you are trying to touch your toes, or lift an object, tie your shoe laces - you are using the Sacro-iliac joint. This is the joint that causes your lower left back pain.

As with the right joint, there is no disc for protection, and you use this joint in almost every lower back movement. This is why this joint is not just a cause of lower left back pain; it is involved in most lower back pain conditions.

Is there a simple way to eliminate lower left back pain?

How can you touch your toes again? To correct this joint you need to address the three main mechanisms that cause the pain.

Correction 1:

You need to re-align the pelvis. When these joints become painful, your pelvis will distort. Your body is trying to compensate by twisting your pelvis. You need to balance the pelvis using simple pelvic balancing techniques to ease this tension.

Correction 2:

Release the tension in the muscles that support the joint. The most commonly involved are the Piriformis muscles, the Hip Flexors and the Hamstrings. The Piriformis is involved in Sciatica if it becomes too tight. The other two help support the pelvis and hence can cause the lower back pain left side.

Correction 3:

You also need to correct any lower back pain condition. The Sacro-iliac joints are commonly involved when the lower back is unsettled. As the Sacro-iliac joint doesn't have the protection of other joints, it becomes inflamed easily and pain becomes quite irritating.

Left side lower back pain can feel like a dull aches through to sharp pain. It can be painful when you try to get out of a chair, or when you bend to tie your shoes. If you fail to address all three mechanisms that create your lower back pain left side, then you may find your pain becomes chronic.

The First Step In Relieving Lower Back Pain

You now know the reason why you get your pain. The pain occurs as your spine twists and distorts. This places pressure through those Sacro-Iliac joints and your pain starts.

However, the first step in easing your pain is not stretching or strengthening, it is not even trying to get the joint moving.

The first step is identifying which type of distortion patterns you have.

Your spine and pelvis have 4 common types of distortion. Each one will change the movement of your Sacro-Iliac joints in certain directions. If you do not know which patterns you have, you may need up causing more pain rather than less.
