Lower Back Pain

Causes and Management

Common Causes of Lower Back Pain


  • Muscle or Ligament Strains: Overexertion, heavy lifting, or sudden movements can strain the muscles and ligaments in your lower back.
  • Disc Problems: Herniated or bulging discs can compress nerves, causing pain and discomfort.
  • Arthritis: Osteoarthritis and other forms of arthritis can cause inflammation and pain in the lower back.
  • Skeletal Irregularities: Conditions like scoliosis can lead to chronic lower back pain.
  • Osteoporosis: Weak, brittle bones are more prone to fractures, which can cause significant pain.
