What is Lower Back Pain?
Lower back pain is pain or discomfort in the lower part of the spine, between the ribs and the hips. It is common and can be caused by muscle strains, ligament injuries, disc problems, or other health issues. The pain can be sharp or dull and varies in strength, often affecting daily activities and quality of life.
Common Symptoms:
Stiffness or Tightness across the lower back
Pain when bending, lifting or twisting
Discomfort sitting or standing for long periods of time
Why it happens.
Lower back pain can be caused by muscle tension, weak core stability, joint restriction, or disc irritation. Poor posture and long periods of sitting often make symptoms worse. It can drive nerve irritation leading to sciatica symptoms. Every case is different, which is why an accurate assessment is key to lasting recovery.
