Low Back Pain

Lower back pain refers to discomfort or pain experienced in the region of the lower back, specifically the area between the ribcage and the pelvis. It is a common complaint that can range from a mild, temporary ache to severe and chronic pain. Lower back pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including muscle strain or sprain, poor posture, herniated discs, degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis, or underlying medical conditions such as kidney stones or infections. The pain may be localized or radiate to the buttocks or legs, and it can be accompanied by stiffness, limited mobility, or muscle spasms. Treatment for lower back pain typically involves rest, pain management strategies, physical therapy, exercises to strengthen the back and core muscles, and in some cases, medications or surgery depending on the underlying cause. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management of lower back pain.
