What Causes Chronic Low Back Pain?

Although chronic low back pain has many causes, it is believed that one of the key contributing factors is the basivertebral nerve. The basivertebral nerve is a pain-sensing nerve that is embedded within the bones of the spine called vertebrae. This nerve branches to the surfaces of the vertebrae, exposing it to the everyday movements and stresses placed on the spine.
Over time, accumulated stress on the vertebrae can put pressure against this exposed nerve, causing severe low back pain – even during normal, everyday movement. The pain triggered by the nerve may force sufferers to avoid a variety of activities, taking a substantial toll on overall quality of life.
