Lower Back Pain
Lower Back Pain Overview
Lower back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal conditions affecting people of all ages. It refers to pain, stiffness, or discomfort in the lower portion of the spine and surrounding muscles. The condition may develop suddenly due to injury or gradually from poor posture, repetitive strain, prolonged sitting, or age-related changes. Lower back pain can range from mild discomfort to severe pain that interferes with daily activities and movement.
Causes of Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain can occur due to:
Poor posture and prolonged sitting
Muscle strain or ligament injury
Heavy lifting or sudden movements
Repetitive stress on the spine
Herniated or slipped discs
Age-related spinal degeneration
Obesity and weak core muscles
Diagnosis of Lower Back Pain
Diagnosis begins with a detailed review of symptoms, medical history, and physical examination. Specialists assess posture, movement patterns, muscle strength, and pain location. Depending on the severity and symptoms, imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI scans, CT scans, or other diagnostic evaluations may be recommended to identify disc problems, nerve compression, spinal abnormalities, or other underlying conditions. Early diagnosis helps guide an effective treatment and recovery plan.
