Lower Back Pain: Sometimes we suffer from lower back pain due to chronic forward/flexion posture. Most everything we do throughout the day involves us slouching or bending forward (writing, cooking, driving, texting, etc). Chronic flexion can push our spinal discs backward putting pressure on nerves. Extension exercises can help resolve and reverse this problem. Read: fix your own back, by r. Mckenzie. It may help.

Spine specialist: Consider an evaluation by a spine specialist, who can order more detailed tests, and try to find a diagnosis for chronic low back pain.
