What Is Low Back Pain?

Low back pain is one of the most common health problems people face. It can range from mild discomfort to severe pain that limits movement. Low back pain may come and go or stay for a long time (chronic). It can affect people of all ages, but is more common in adults.

Symptoms of Low Back Pain

  • Dull or sharp pain in the lower back
  • Pain that spreads to hips, buttocks, or legs
  • Stiffness or reduced movement in the back
  • Muscle spasms in the lower back
  • Difficulty standing, walking, or bending
  • In severe cases: numbness, tingling, or weakness in legs

Causes of Low Back Pain

  • Muscle strain – Lifting heavy objects, sudden movements, or poor posture
  • Disc problems – Herniated or degenerated discs
  • Arthritis – Age-related wear and tear in spinal joints
  • Spinal stenosis – Narrowing of the spinal canal
  • Spondylolisthesis – Slipping of one vertebra over another
  • Infections or tumors – Less common but possible causes

Who Is at Risk?

You may have a higher chance of low back pain if you have:
  • Poor posture or weak back muscles
  • Sedentary lifestyle or lack of exercise
  • Overweight or obesity
  • Heavy physical work or frequent lifting
  • Previous back injuries
  • Age over 40 (degenerative changes are more common)

Diagnosis

Doctors may suggest:
  • Physical examination – To check posture, movement, and strength
  • X-rays – To see bone alignment and arthritis changes
  • MRI or CT scans – To look at discs, nerves, or other spinal issues
  • Blood tests – If infection or other condition is suspected

Treatment for Low Back Pain

  • Rest & lifestyle changes – Short rest, posture correction, and weight management
  • Medicines – Pain relievers, anti-inflammatory drugs, or muscle relaxants
  • Physiotherapy – Exercises to improve strength, posture, and flexibility
  • Injections – Steroid injections for severe pain due to inflammation
  • Surgery – Needed only in rare cases where there is nerve damage, disc problems, or instability
