Lower Left Side Back Pain."With lower left side back pain - the cause may be due to overuse of your stonger left side, or a weakness where your left cannot support your stronger right side."
The cause of one-sided back pain is due to our bodies favouring one side more than the other. Breakdown can occur on the stronger side (favoured side) , or on the weaker side (non-favoured) for different reasons. Specifically, with lower left sided back pain, the cause is either due to overuse (where it is the stronger side, the left side in this example) - or to weakness (where the weaker side cannot support the strength of the stronger right side in this case). As a result, breakdown in the joints, muscles, ligaments, discs and nerves may occur. Breakdown occurs on the stronger side due to fatigue and tightness, and on the weaker side due to overstretching and weakness. Ultimately, a long term resolution always requires identifying your causes of lower back pain. If the cause is on the stronger side and a result of fatigue and tightness, then treatment should address both of these aspects, and then address the weaker side through back strengthening exercises which will help balance your back and reduce the risk of further injury. If the cause is on the weaker side due to overstretching and weakness, treatment must address the weakness through strengthening and awareness of using both sides equally. The cause needs to be addressed from the outset. If the cause has resulted in a joint, disc, muscle, nerve or ligament being injured, correction of the injured structure may require a Physiotherapist to correct its alignment at an early stage. Low back pain exercises for your left side will depend on the cause and the structure that is injured. Once a correct diagnosis is found rehabilitation is usually very successful.
