Information
General information
The lower back, also known as the lumbar spine or lumbar region, is an important part of the spine. It consists of a total of five lower vertebrae, the so-called lumbar vertebrae (L1 to L5). The lower back plays an important role in supporting body weight and maintaining an upright posture. It is particularly prone to stress and injury, as it carries most of the body weight. Furthermore, the lower back enables movements such as bending, turning and bending and thus many daily activities

Causes
Here are some possible causes of lower back pain:
Muscle tension and strain: Common cause of lower back pain, often caused by excessive strain or unfavorable movements.
Herniated discs: As soon as the soft core of a disc protrudes between the vertebrae and presses on nerves, this can cause pain and cause a herniated disc.
Osteoarthritis: Degenerative changes of the spine (arthritis) in old age can cause pain.
Incorrect posture and poor ergonomics: Poor posture, especially during sedentary activity, can lead to chronic lower back pain.
Injuries: Accidents, falls or sports injuries can cause acute back pain.
Overweight: A high body weight can increase the load on the lower back.

How does K-Active Tape help against lower back pain?
The K-Active Tape can be used to support back problems in the lower back. It works by adhering to the skin and exerting a slight tensile tension on the skin and the underlying layers of tissue. It provides proprioceptive support, which means that it can improve the body’s perception of movement and positioning and thus contribute to the stabilization of the lower back. Furthermore, a tape system on the lower back can improve freedom of movement and support rehabilitation.
