Are you experiencing or having Low Back Pain?
Worry not here is what you need to know about Low Back Pain 👇
Low Back Pain is defined as “pain and discomfort, localised below the costal margin and above the inferior gluteal folds, with or without leg pain"
Based on duration since onset, Low Back Pain can be classified as:
ACUTE, less than 6 weeks
SUB ACUTE, between 6 and 12 weeks
CHRONIC low back pain. pain for 12 weeks or more.
Causes of Lower Back Pain
1. Muscle Spasms
When the muscles and ligaments in the lumbar area experience strain or tension, pain is often felt. This tension commonly occurs due to repetitive heavy lifting.
2. Pinched Nerve
Excessive pressure, injury, or accidents can cause the discs to rupture, allowing their inner core to press against the nerves, leading to pain.
3 Injury
Falls, accidents, or direct trauma can lead to spinal problems and cause pain. The pain might be immediate or develop over time, sometimes appearing even years after the injury.
4 Poor Posture
Incorrect posture can contribute to lower back pain. For example, prolonged improper sitting posture can alter spinal alignment, leading to back pain. Additionally, incorrect posture while performing daily activities, such as bending incorrectly to lift heavy objects, can strain the lower back.
5 Spinal Abnormalities
Structural abnormalities in the spine can lead to chronic lower back pain. Some common spinal deformities include:
Hyperlordosis (excessive inward spinal curve)
Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
Lumbar scoliosis (sideways curvature of the spine)
Spondylolisthesis (vertebra slippage)
6. Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is the condition causing decreased bone density, makes bones fragile and prone to fractures. If a spinal fracture occurs due to osteoporosis, it can lead to chronic lower back pain.
7 Arthritis
Arthritis, an inflammation of the joints, can affect the lower spine. Osteoarthritis in the spine may lead to spinal stenosis, which is the narrowing of nerve pathways, causing pain and discomfort.
8 Menstruation
In some cases, menstrual cramps can cause lower back pain. However, the pain typically subsides as the menstrual cycle progresses. If the pain persists can lead to back pain
10 Underlying Medical Conditions
Lower back pain may be caused by serious health conditions such as spinal tumors or cancer. Other conditions, such as fibromyalgia and kidney stones, may also contribute to lower back pain.
PHYSIOTHERAPY MANAGEMENT
Physiotherapy management involves a combination of Manual Therapy, Therapeutic Exercises, and other modalities to reduce pain and improve function. Common treatments include manual techniques like Soft Tissue Massage and Joint Mobilization, targeted exercises to strengthen and stretch muscles, and other therapies such as HEAT THERAPY and TENS.
