WHAT CAUSES LOWER BACK PAIN?

The lumbar spine, or lower back, is intricately designed to support the upper body and enable everyday movements. However, this complexity makes it prone to conditions like lower back pain and inflammation in the back, highlighting its susceptibility to various injuries. Prioritizing lower back pain self-care is crucial to understanding and managing symptoms effectively, thereby maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle.

Commonly, lower back pain arises from a torn or pulled muscle and or ligament, often exacerbated by improper low back pain exercises. These acute injuries can cause significant back pain and stiffness, occurring suddenly or developing gradually from repetitive movements. Strains happen when a muscle stretches too far and tears, damaging the muscle itself.

Common causes of sprains and strains include:

Lifting a heavy object, or twisting the spine while lifting

• Sudden movements or direct impacts, such as a fall

• Lack of proper posture

• Sports-related injuries

Pain is considered chronic once it lasts for more than three months and exceeds the body’s natural healing process. This is often the result of a disc problem (herniated disc), a joint problem, unresolved injury from past trauma, and/or irritated spinal nerve roots.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF LOWER BACK PAIN?

Injury to the lower back manifests through various symptoms, including sudden lower back pain flare-ups. These symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe, debilitating pain.

Depending on the underlying cause of the pain, symptoms can be experienced in a variety of ways, such as:

• Pain ranging from dull or achy to stinging and burning

• Pain may be contained to the lower back, or move from the lower back down the legs

• Numbness or tingling related to sciatica

• Muscle spasms and tightness in the lower back, pelvis, and hips

• Discomfort that worsens after prolonged sitting or standing

• Difficulty standing up straight, walking, or going from standing to sitting

LOWER LEFT AND LOWER RIGHT BACK PAIN

Pain that is felt in the lower left side of the back, or the lower right, may indicate causes other than a strain, such as:

Bulging of the disc’s core can irritate nearby nerves, causing pain that radiates down the back and legs.

Kidney stones or infections can trigger severe pain on the affected side, along with other urinary symptoms.

An abnormal spinal curvature that can cause chronic pain on one side due to uneven weight distribution.

Conditions like osteoarthritis, or degenerative disc disease, leads to wear and tear in the spine that can predominantly cause pain on one side.

Lower Back Pain FAQS

Surgery is not always necessary for low back pain. In fact, the majority of low back pain cases can be effectively managed with conservative treatments such as rest, physical therapy, Airrosti care, medication, and lifestyle modifications. Surgery may be considered if conservative treatments fail to provide relief, or if there is evidence of structural issues such as herniated discs or spinal stenosis that require surgical intervention. It’s important to discuss all treatment options with a healthcare professional to determine the best course of action.

It’s generally safe to take medications for low back pain, but it’s important to use them as directed by your healthcare provider. Over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can help reduce inflammation and alleviate discomfort. Prescription medications such as muscle relaxants or corticosteroids may be recommended for more severe cases of low back pain. It’s important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication regimen, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking other medications. 

Yes, there are several self-care techniques and exercises that can help alleviate low back pain. These may include gentle stretching exercises to improve flexibility, strengthening exercises to support the spine and core muscles, and low-impact activities such as walking or swimming to maintain mobility and reduce strain on the back. Additionally, maintaining good posture, using proper lifting techniques, and avoiding activities that exacerbate symptoms can help prevent further injury to the back. 

While it’s important to avoid activities that exacerbate low back pain, completely restricting all activity may not be necessary. Modifying activities to reduce strain on the back and incorporating rest breaks can help alleviate symptoms. Low-impact exercises such as yoga or tai chi can be beneficial for improving flexibility, strength, and overall well-being. However, if low back pain persists or worsens with activity, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and guidance on activity modification.
