Back Pain from Overuse
Overuse injuries can also result in lower back pain. Things like continual lifting can wear down cartilage over time. Overuse of back muscles without taking proper precautions can lead to a slipped or ruptured disc, both which put pressure on the nerves in the spinal column. Be sure that when you are doing any activity that involves lifting or puts strain on your back that you are using proper technique and are taking necessary precautions to avoid injury.
