Understanding Lower Back Pain Together
Many of us have experienced it: a dull, aching pain in the lower back that doesn’t seem to go away. It might start as a minor discomfort, but over time, it can become more persistent, leading to stiffness, limited movement, and frustration. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. Lower back pain is one of the most common complaints, affecting people of all ages and lifestyles. Whether from prolonged sitting, poor posture, or injury, it can seriously impact your ability to enjoy daily activities.
Common Lower Back Conditions
Muscle Strain - Overuse or sudden movement can strain the muscles and ligaments in your back, leading to pain and tightness.
Herniated Disc - When the discs between the vertebrae in your spine become damaged, they can press on nerves, causing severe pain, numbness, or tingling.
Sciatica - Irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve can result in sharp pain radiating from the lower back down to the leg.
Degenerative Disc Disease - As we age, the discs in our spine can lose their cushioning, leading to pain and stiffness in the lower back.
Spinal Stenosis - Narrowing of the spinal canal can put pressure on the spinal cord or nerves, causing discomfort and pain.
