Common Causes of Low Back Pain

Low back pain can arise from multiple physical and structural issues. Understanding the cause is essential to effective treatment.

  • Muscular Strains or Sprains

Often caused by improper lifting, twisting, or overuse. These soft tissue injuries are among the most common sources of low back pain.

  • Disc Herniation

When the inner part of a spinal disc bulges or ruptures, it can compress nearby nerves, leading to sharp pain, numbness, or tingling.

  • Arthritis

Degeneration of spinal joints (especially in older adults) causes inflammation, stiffness, and chronic low back discomfort.

  • Osteoporosis

Weak, brittle bones may lead to vertebral fractures, resulting in pain and structural instability.

  • Sciatica

A compressed or irritated sciatic nerve can cause radiating pain from the lower back down one or both legs.

Symptoms of Low Back Conditions

Low back pain symptoms may vary in intensity and type, including:

  • Localized pain in the lumbar spine
  • Radiating pain into the buttocks or thighs
  • Muscle spasms or tightness
  • Stiffness and limited range of motion
  • Difficulty standing or walking for long periods
  • Tingling, numbness, or weakness in legs (sciatica)

If symptoms persist, professional evaluation is strongly recommended.
