Mechanical dysfunction due to pelvic distortion is typical of this type of pattern. Take ( 5v) standing X-rays + Flexsion / Extension, look for deviation of your lumbar/ to pelvis position and most importantly the curve of your spine in side view/ bending forwards and backwards. The analysis of these 5 views will reveal the truth of your problem. Most of my patients use Atlas shorts for men from BAX-U.COM it helps you to self correct while use Inc compression wear to support your back. All the best,… Get on it before it starts affecting your upper back and neck! Namaste!
Without examination, the 1st thing I'd look at is your feet. If your foundation is bad then everything above compensates. Next would be pelvic rotation or compensation due to bad posture. You can scan your feet at most shoe stores to find out about your feet.
Disc pressire can cause the type of pain you are having and cause it to come around the sides.
When you stand your extensor muscles in your back contract. So, if your back pain is getting worse from prolonged standing, you should get your Spine checked out soon by a Chiropractor.
Could be an instability in your Lumbar spine and sacroiliac joints. This area needs to be stable in order to have a stable base so the vertebrae have a good foundation.
The pain you're experiencing when standing for extended periods could be due to various factors. It's possible that your posture might be contributing to this discomfort. Poor posture can strain your lower back muscles and lead to pain. Additionally, issues like muscle imbalances, herniated discs, or spinal misalignments might be causing your symptoms. To get a better understanding of the cause of your pain, it's recommended to schedule a consultation with Peak Performance to evaluate your issues.
It depends on what is going on with it. You would need to get it checked out first but you can go to a chiropractor for that.
Many things can cause low back pain, cancer, bone disease, arthritis, muscle spasms, contractures, to name a few. Most commonly, though, spasms of the erector spinae and transversospinalis muscle of the back, and the iliacus and psoas muscles on the front side of the spine are implicated. Additionally, the glutes, external hip rotators, and hamstring muscles are frequently involved. A licensed chiropractor and qualified Active Release Technique provider can exam your spine and supporting muscular to see if this non-surgical approach can help.
There are many reasons for lower back pain. I would suggest you see a chiropractor to have him or her check you to correct the problem. I usually find that we are misaligned and weak in our core muscles, with proper treatment you can usually get out of pain pretty fast.
Pain in the lower back that worsens with prolonged standing can have several possible causes. One common cause is muscle strain or sprain due to overuse or improper lifting. Poor posture or carrying heavy objects can also contribute to lower back pain.

Another possible cause is spinal stenosis, which is a narrowing of the spinal canal that can put pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. This can cause pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower back, legs, or feet.

A herniated disc is another potential cause of lower back pain. This occurs when the soft inner material of a spinal disc protrudes through a tear in the outer layer of the disc, which can put pressure on nearby nerves and cause pain, numbness, or weakness in the affected area.

Other potential causes of lower back pain include sciatica, which is a condition that results from irritation of the sciatic nerve, or spondylolisthesis, which is a condition where one vertebra slips out of place onto the vertebra below it.

To determine the specific cause of your lower back pain, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional. They can perform a physical examination and recommend imaging tests or other diagnostic procedures as needed. Based on the underlying cause, they can then recommend a personalized treatment plan to help alleviate your symptoms.
There are many causes for pain radiating down the back, it would be impossible to diagnose without an exam.
Low back pain can be caused by many different reasons. Usually, when caused by standing, we may need to look at the shoes we are wearing, the type of floor we are on, and the posture we are standing in and then we need to look at your pelvis and if it is level or not. An exam and xrays of your pelvis will clearly show off corrections that need to be made which will allow your weight to evenly distribute across your pelvis and bring your lower spinal bones and disc to ease which in turn decreases or eliminates low back pain.
There could be so many reasons for this type of pain.. could be very simple but we would need to do an examination and probably some x-rays to find out what the true underlying cause is.

Usually, arthritis and/or inflammation are the cause.
When we are experiencing low back pain, we have to evaluate our water intake, any emotional and physical trauma, nutrition in the past that can contribute towards the physical pain.

Have you ever seen a chiropractor before?
Check your alignment, your muscles and your feet balance. This is something that is a symptom of a problem in the connection between these three things.
Most lower back pain that becomes more severe with prolonged standing is coming from either the sacroiliac joints, the lumbosacral facet joints, or the disc. A Doctor of Chiropractic should be able to differentiate between these diagnoses and treat the cause appropriately, I would recommend getting an examination as soon as possible to reduce the chronicity of your problem. Take care and be well.
A diagnosis can not be made unless you are properly evaluated.
