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
