Question: Can lower back pain cause poor circulation in my feet?

I recently answered a question that I thought I would share:

"Is it possible that my lower back pain or ache will cause poor blood circulation to the feet?"

My response:

There are many causes for lower back pain and poor circulation. That said, one of the most popular causes of back pain has to do with your body's balance.

A simple imbalance in your posture (often undetectable by the untrained eye) can add stress and tension to your muscles, joints and bones causing all sorts of pain and discomfort. This stress on the body may also restrict proper blood flow.

So, to answer your question - lower back pain will not cause poor blood circulation BUT it's possible that the cause of the lower back pain may also be the cause of the poor blood circulation to the feet.

Hope this helps.

To your good health,
