Common Causes of Low Back Pain

The lumbar spine is a well-organized structure designed to carry much of the body's upper weight. This portion of the spine functions to provide stability and flexibility. While the lumbar spine is a strong structure, it can sometimes fall to pain or injury. lower back pain is commonly caused by:

  • Sciatica - The longest nerve of the body, known as the sciatic nerve, runs along the lower portion of the spine. Sciatica is a pain that results from damage to the sciatic nerve.
  • Physical trauma - Outside force can lead to injury, fracturing, or dislocation in the lower back. Auto accidents, sports injuries, and falls are typical reasons for lower back pain.
  • Nerve compression - Quite a few nerves of the body are connected to the lower spine. If a nerve experiences abnormal pressure, this could lead to pain in the affected area.
  • Arthritis - Joint pain or inflammation is especially prevalent among older people. Osteoarthritis is commonly associated with lower back pain.
  • Spinal stenosis - In this condition, the spinal canal narrows, causing pain to nearby nerve roots.
  • Degenerative disc disease - Disc deterioration is often age-related. 
  • Disc herniation - A slipped or ruptured disc may be the result of degeneration or trauma.
  • Deformity - Genetic disorders like scoliosis or kyphosis will often lead to lower back pain.

Lower Back Pain Symptoms

Depending on the cause, symptoms may range from a dull ache to excruciating pain. Paresthesia is particularly prevalent when the spinal nerves become compressed or damaged in some way, leading to numbness and tingling. Some pack pain cases are acute, lasting less than 3 months. Other cases are chronic, lasting for longer than 3 months.
