What Could Be Causing My Terrible Leg PainsPosted by Hadriel Sam on January 25th, 2020 Question: Answer: Over the years I have discovered that most lower back pains have their origin in the pubic area. Here is the reasoning the back muscles (erector spinae) that run down the sides of the spine act as pulleys to keep us erect, because we have a tendency to stoop forward due to the weight of all our organs, which lie towards the front of the body. (That's why if people faint they often fall flat on their faces.) The muscles end in thick tendons in the lower back on the upper part of the sacrum (the triangular bit in the centre just above your buttocks). So when people put on weight or carry heavy loads, or when women become pregnant, these tendons come under extra strain because the muscles have to counteract the force making the body stoop forward. A little recognized cause of the same pressure on the lower back is groin strain just above the pubic bone, the area where the abdominal muscles end in tendons attached to the pubic bone. I think this is the pelvic area you refer to. Like it? Share it!More by this author |
