Low Back Pain
Most people experience low back pain at some point in their lives.
The lower back, also called the lumbar region, is a complex area and includes many spinal bones, nerves, muscles, and connective tissues. There are many reasons why pain may be felt in the lower back and these can range from a serious injury or inherited disorders to normal wear and tear. The lower back supports the weight of the upper body, and as we age it is natural for bones to lose strength and for muscles to lose elasticity. It is also natural for the discs between our spinal bones to lose flexibility, making them less effective cushions for our lower back.
Heavy lifting, stretching and exercise can cause a strain, spasm or sprain in the muscles and connective tissues of the lower back. Occasionally, a spinal disc may rupture or bulge outward, causing pressure on the nerves located in the lumbar region. Most lower back pain is the result of an injury. Pain may also be caused by a herniated disc, sciatica, or by degenerative disorders like arthritis and osteoporosis. Stress, obesity, lifestyle and other potentially serious medical disorders can cause lower back pain.
