Ouch! 9 myths about low back pain - Photo 1 - Pictures
I always tell my patients to listen to their bodies, and in certain back conditions, sitting up straight
may be even more painful than bending because of added pressure on the lumbar spinal nerve roots.
Conversely, a patient may get some relief lying on one side in the fetal position.
There hasn't been much scientific evidence directly linking posture to developing back pain, but it
makes sense that posture can put pressure on different parts of your back. And if you're always
slumped to one side, some muscles may become weaker than others and therefore more susceptible
to strain or damage. If spinal supporting muscles weaken, it can also affect the position of your
spine, contributing to back pain.
