Why You Have Lower Back Pain

Sometimes the cause is obvious: lifting something heavy, a sports injury, or a car accident. But for most people, back pain develops slowly over time due to neglect.

We use a framework called the Maintenance → Problem → Crisis (MPC) model:

  • Anything that requires maintenance, if ignored, eventually develops a problem.
  • Problems often start silently, without symptoms.
  • Over time, they reach a threshold and suddenly turn into a crisis — which is when most people finally seek help.


Your spine is like the tires on your car. If they’re not aligned and balanced, they wear down unevenly. You don’t notice the damage right away, but over time the tread thins, the ride gets rough, and eventually you’re looking at a blowout. That’s how spinal neglect works — slowly, until it finally shows up as pain.

Common Causes of Lower Back Pain

When your spine and supporting tissues are not maintained, pain can show up in different ways. Some of the most common causes include: Often, what patients think “caused” their back pain (like moving furniture) is simply the last thing that they were doing when the pain showed up — the real problem had been building silently for years.
