Patients who are overweight or obese and suffer from back pain may not be aware that their excess weight is actually contributing to their back pain.
This occurs for people with extra weight in their stomachs because the excess weight pulls the pelvis forward and strains the lower back, creating lower back pain. According to the American Obesity Association, women who are obese or who have a large waist size are particularly at risk for lower back pain.
