Lumbar Pain
Lumbar pain, also known as lower back pain, is a common issue that can arise from problems with the lumbar spine, the discs between the vertebrae, ligaments around the spine and discs, the spinal cord and nerves, muscles of the lower back, internal organs of the pelvis and abdomen, and the skin covering the lumbar area.
The pain can be acute or chronic, and its intensity can range from a dull ache to a sharp, burning sensation or excruciating discomfort.
It can also radiate into the buttocks and down the leg, which is a condition known as sciatica.
Causes of lumbar pain can include poor posture, strain from lifting heavy objects, herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, osteoporosis, and certain diseases like cancer or arthritis.
Treatment for lumbar pain can vary depending on the cause and severity of the pain. It can include rest, physical therapy, medication, and in some severe cases, surgery.
If you’re experiencing lumbar pain, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

1. Persistent aching or stiffness anywhere along your spine, from the base of the neck to the tail bone.
2. Sharp, localized pain in the neck, upper back, or lower back, especially after lifting heavy objects or engaging in other strenuous activity.
3. Chronic ache in the middle or lower back, especially after sitting or standing for extended periods.
4. Pain that radiates from the low back to the buttock, down the back of the thigh, and into the calf and toes (sciatica).
5. Inability to stand straight without having pain or muscle spasms in the lower back.
6. Decreased range of motion and/or difficulty walking.
7. Numbness or tingling in your legs or feet.
1. Muscle or ligament strain: Repeated heavy lifting or a sudden awkward movement can strain back muscles and spinal ligaments. If you’re in poor physical condition, constant strain on your back can cause painful muscle spasms.
2. Bulging or ruptured disks: Disks act as cushions between the bones (vertebrae) in your spine. The soft material inside a disk can bulge or rupture and press on a nerve.
3. Arthritis: Osteoarthritis can affect the lower back. In some cases, arthritis in the spine can lead to a narrowing of the space around the spinal cord, a condition called spinal stenosis.
4. Skeletal irregularities: A condition in which your spine curves to the side (scoliosis) also can lead to back pain, but generally not until middle age.
5. Osteoporosis: Your spine’s vertebrae can develop compression fractures if your bones become porous and brittle.
6. Poor posture: Poor posture when sitting, standing, and lifting can place unnecessary stress on your back, especially your lower back.
7. Sedentary lifestyle: Lack of regular exercise can make your back muscles weak and stiff, leading to lower back pain.
8. Obesity: Carrying extra weight, especially around your midsection, can put added strain on your back.
9. Smoking: It can reduce blood flow to the lower spine and contribute to degeneration of the spinal disks.
10. Psychological conditions: People prone to depression and anxiety appear to have a greater risk of back pain.
