What are the causes of low back pain?

Sciatica
This issue can occur with the herniated disc when the disc ifs being pressed with the sciatic nerve. This nerve connects the spine to the legs. Due to this, it can result in pain in the feet and legs.





Strains
If a person is involved in an excess activity then the ligaments and muscles in the back can get stretched. It can show symptoms like stiffness and pain in lower back & muscle spasms. In this case, you should rest and physical therapy.

Abnormal spine curvatures
Abnormal curvatures in the spine are caused because of conditions like kyphosis, scoliosis, and lordosis. These are congenital conditions which are diagnosed at the time of childhood or adolescence. This can result in pain and make the posture poor as pressure is placed on:

  • ligaments
  • muscles
  • tendons
  • vertebrae

In case the pain is increasing a lot then you should get the back pain treatment from the doctor as soon as possible. Consult our spine surgeon to get the best treatment plan. One of the best options the doctor will recommend is spine surgery.

Disc Injury
In the back, the disc is present which can get injured and with age this risk increases. The disc present outside can get torn or herniate. The herniated disc occurs when the cartilage starts pushing the nerve roots.
The disc injury occurs when you lift something heavy or when you twist the bone. The pain from this injury usually lasts for around 72 hours.
