Why Doing More Core Work Isn’t Fixing Your Low Back Pain
Doing more planks and ab work but your low back still hurts? This blog explains why low back pain is often not just a weak core problem. At Momentum Spine and Sport, we look at the real drivers behind back pain like hip mobility, movement dysfunction, poor control, and compensation patterns so active adults can get lasting relief and get back to doing what they love.
Is Core Stability the Answer to Low Back Pain?
Core stability can play an important role in managing low back pain, especially early on in care. But stability isn’t the full answer. We’re not built to stay stiff—we’re designed to twist, bend, and move. The key to lasting relief is learning control first, then reintroducing dynamic movement so you can get back to living without limits.
