Assistance with Lower Back Pain
Lower Back Pain
Lower Back Pain is a common, painful condition. It generally represents as pain over the lower portion of the spine and can refer pain to the buttocks, groin or leg/s.
Lower Back Pain is usually caused by incorrect lifting technique, excessive sitting and sedentary lifestyle or even simply a mis-timed movement, such as picking up a light object.
Symptoms
Lower Back Pain causes and symptoms are varied but many describe the following common complaints :
Dull, aching pain
Pain that remains within the low back (axial pain) is usually described as dull and aching rather than burning, stinging, or sharp. This kind of pain can be accompanied by mild or severe muscle spasms, limited mobility, and aches in the hips and pelvis.
Pain that travels to the buttocks, legs, and feet
Sometimes low back pain includes a sharp, stinging, tingling or numb sensation that moves down the thighs and into the low legs and feet, also called sciatica.
Pain that is worse after prolonged sitting
Sitting puts pressure on the discs, causing low back pain to worsen after sitting for long periods of time.
Pain that is worse after waking up and better after moving around
Many who experience low back pain report symptoms that are worse first thing in the morning. After getting up and moving around, however, symptoms are relieved.
