Back Pain On Lower Right Side – Causes And Their Remedies

If you’re like most people, you will want to have a good idea why you have back pain on your lower right side BEFORE you go to the doctor. No one likes to hear surprise statements such as, “We’re taking you to surgery and you may not make it!”

The fact is that in many cases, back pain on the lower right side is not life-threatening such as cancer but rather related to something that is happening anatomically.


Some Causes of Back Pain Lower Right Side

Here are some of the reasons why you may be experiencing this type of pain:


1. Trigger Points in the Surrounding Muscles

Trigger points are hot spots or knots in the muscles that when touched, make you feel pain. However, they can also be painful while you do normal daily activities and can refer pain to other places in the body.

When you have back pain on your lower right side, it may be due to trigger points in the surrounding right quatratus lumborum muscle. I’ve found this frequently in my practice as a chiropractor. This muscle helps you bend to the right, lower your rib cage, and keep you standing tall.

Releasing trigger points is something that chiropractors or massage therapists or other body workers such as rolfers do. During the process, the practitioner will press on the point and hold it until your body ‘lets go’ of the point. When your body lets go of the point, it vanishes. Thus, any back pain on your lower right side or elsewhere is instantly gone as well. However, you may feel a little sore in that area afterwards for a few days. (Soreness is better than the back pain on the lower right side!)


2. Dysfunction of the SI Joint

Every part of your spine should be flexible. If your sacro-iliac joint moves too much or too little, the result can be back pain, lower right side or lower left side. This is another situation where physical manipulation via chiropractic and massage will make the biggest difference. Painkillers will never address the foundational issue.
