| Eight out of ten Americans will experience a backache at some point. Chronic Lower Back Pain Most medical physicians rely too heavily on diagnostic tests, especially for lower back problems. As a consequence, many patients that suffer from lower back pain do not find relief: the tests may show that little is wrong, or show abnormalities that are not the cause of the problem. Some specialists recommend being very conservative in managing patients with back pain. Some causes of chronic low back pain include: prostatitis, hidden food allergies, hypothyroidism, autointoxication or intestinal toxemia (self-poisoning by harmful gut bacteria), mercury toxicity (if stored in the sensory ganglia near the low back), arthritis, kidney involvement, and psychological issues.
