If you were to walk into a room with 100 people and ask how many were suffering or have suffered from back pain, the results might be shocking. Low back pain is the second most common reason for all physician visits in the United States.
Pain in the lower back can indicate problems with the lumbar spine, the discs between the vertebrae, the ligaments around the spine, the discs and spinal cord and nerves, muscles of the lower back, internal organs of the pelvis and abdomen, or skin covering the lumbar area.
What Causes Back Pain
The causes of back pain can be narrowed down to four major categories. The most common are: herniated disc or bulging disc and degenerative disc disease. Discs are soft pads of tissue that fit neatly between each vertebra and act as shock absorbers. These discs separate and protect the bones from clanking together or breaking under stress. Many people live with chronic or ongoing back pain because they do not perceive their pain to be severe enough to warrant care. What they do not realize is that because the conditions causing back pain are cumulative, much more long-term damage may be incurred by not addressing their current symptoms.
Symptoms of Back Pain
Back pain symptoms can range from acute to chronic. If you suffer with any of the following back pain conditions, you may have a serious back pain condition.
