Although many factors contribute to back pain, there are very few that will directly lead to severe conditions. Physical trauma and obesity are some causes of major back problems. Another cause that may advance the severity of back pain is constant bad posture.

Fortunately, bad posture can be corrected easily if a person knows he’s doing it. If he’s sitting or lying down the wrong way, he should feel it after a few minutes.
If a person is injured in sports, figures in a car accident, or slips and falls, he most likely will experience back pain. His natural reaction to back pain is to hold his body in a position opposite to the position that’s causing him pain, expecting relief. This opposite position is most likely a bad posture. What he should do is hold his body in a neutral position and consult a healthcare specialist.
Sitting the wrong way may lead to back problems. This is a very common problem among office workers, who don’t notice it until it’s too late. People should sit in an upright position with the computer screen level to their faces. This prevents any hunching and neck extensions.
Other causes of bad posture are wearing uncomfortable clothes for the sake of fashion and constantly carrying heavy load. It’s very important that people let their bodies rest once they feel a strain or a pull, so as to prevent aggravating the condition.
