Symptoms of Lower Back Pain 

How can you tell you have lower back pain? If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, you may be suffering from lower back pain:

• Pain that worsens when you stand or sit
• Dull or achy pain in the lower back
• Troubling muscle spasms and stiffness in the hips, pelvis, and lower back
• Hitches in walking or standing in a straight position
• Numbness in legs or groin

Common Causes of Lower Back Pain

There are many causes of lower back pain. However, the most common causes of lower back pain we see at our clinic include:  

• Degenerative disc disease: As people age, their discs may lose hydration. After the disc loses hydration, it's unable to resist force, thereby transmitting force to the disc wall, which may develop tears, causing pain or weakening, culminating in a herniation.
• Sprains and strains: These are the most typical causes of lower back pain. This pain is triggered by lifting heavy objects or lifting them awkwardly, injuring back muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Falls, slips, sports injuries, and car accidents can cause sprains and strains.
• Scoliosis: The abnormal positioning of your spine may cause back pain and other discomforts.
• Sciatica: The damage to the sciatic nerve may cause pain that radiates from the lower back to the lower extremities.
• Poor posture: Incorrect posture when sleeping, lifting weights, or sitting may put excessive pressure on the spine, causing pain.
