Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain, commonly known as "back pain" Lower back pain is a frequent issue affecting the lower torso and extending to the tailbone. This area supports a significant portion of the body's weight and plays a key role in many lower-body movements.

Causes of lower back pain can vary and may include:

Muscle inflammation:
Often caused by improper movements or overuse, such as bending over to lift heavy objects incorrectly or having weak core muscles.
Herniated disc:
A condition where the soft cushion between your vertebrae (spinal discs) becomes damaged and presses on a nerve. This typically causes pain that worsens with bending forward and may radiate down the leg, sometimes accompanied by weakness or numbness.
Degenerative disc disease:
Over time, the spinal discs can wear down, leading to pain. Pain may be aggravated by arching the back and can radiate down the leg, sometimes with weakness or numbness.
