For Those Concerned About Back or Lower Back Pain
Back and lower back pain is a common symptom experienced by many people. While it is often caused by muscle fatigue or stress due to poor posture or repetitive daily movements, persistent or worsening pain may indicate an underlying condition.
Receiving an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment can help reduce the pain and prevent recurrence.
Common Causes of Back and Lower Back Pain
- Muscle or ligament strain : Prolonged sitting or awkward movements can put stress on the muscles and ligaments of the back, leading to pain.
- Herniated disc : A bulging disc between the vertebrae can press on nearby nerves, causing pain in the lower back or legs.
- Spinal stenosis : Narrowing of the spinal canal can compress the nerves, resulting in pain, numbness, or tingling in the back or legs.
- Arthritis in the lower back : Aging or overuse can cause inflammation in the joints of the lower back, leading to discomfort and stiffness.
- Osteoporosis : Decreased bone density makes bones more fragile and prone to fractures, often causing pain in the back or waist.
- Internal organ disorders : Conditions such as kidney stones or gallbladder disease may cause referred pain in the back or lower back.
- Poor posture : Slouching or leaning forward for extended periods can strain muscles and the spine, leading to discomfort.
