Lower back pain is pain that is felt in the lower part of the spine, which is the area between the bottom of the ribcage and the top of the buttocks. Lower back pain is a common problem that can range from mild to severe, and can be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term).

There are many potential causes of lower back pain, including:

  1. Muscular strain or sprain: Straining or spraining the muscles or ligaments in the lower back can cause pain. This can be caused by lifting heavy objects, twisting or bending awkwardly, or engaging in high-impact activities such as running or jumping.
  2. Herniated disc: A herniated disc occurs when the soft, gel-like center of a spinal disc bulges out through a crack in the outer layer of the disc. This can put pressure on the nerves in the spine, causing pain, numbness, and tingling.
  3. Degenerative disc disease: Degenerative disc disease is a condition in which the discs between the vertebrae in the spine begin to break down and lose their cushioning ability. This can cause pain and stiffness in the lower back.
  4. Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition that occurs when the cartilage in the joints wears down over time, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
  5. Spinal stenosis: Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal, which can put pressure on the nerves in the spine and cause pain.
