Low Back Pain

Low back pain is caused by spinal degeneration and injury.

• Muscle or ligament strain. Repeated heavy lifting or a sudden awkward movement can strain back muscles and spinal ligaments.
• Bulging or ruptured disks. Disks act as cushions between the bones (vertebrae) in your spine.

• Acute, or short-term back pain lasts a few days to a few weeks. Most low back pain is acute. It tends to resolve on its own within a few days with self-care and there is no residual loss of function. In some cases, a few months are required for the symptoms to disappear.

• Mechanical lumbar syndromes are typically aggravated by static loading of the spine (eg, prolonged sitting or standing), by long lever activities (eg, vacuuming or working with the arms elevated and away from the body), or by levered postures (eg, bending forward).

Women may also experience back pain due to no unidentifiable cause. Typical changes in a woman’s lifecycle, including pregnancy, childbirth, hormonal imbalances, weight gain (especially in the abdomen) can trigger a cascade of events leading to back pain.
