Lower back pain, or lumbago, can be a very complicated problem. As the body ages, the spine undergoes compensatory changes to adjust with the rest of the body. Some of those changes are for the good, but some of those changes can cause pain and problems in human function.
Lower back muscle pain is often aggravated by prolonged sitting or standing as well as activities where we use the body as a lever – like vacuuming. The pain is often the result of mechanical conditions such as disk disease, fractures, or other breakdowns of the spinal structure. Rarely do issues involving inflammation or nerve damage cause lower back pain, but research suggests that misalignments of the spine or hips could also contribute to bilateral lower back pain.
Lower Back Pain is generally felt near the top of the pelvis and in the centre of the low back on the lower spine and typically stems from a combination of overuse, muscle strain, and injury or damage to the muscles, ligaments, and discs that support the spine. Pain can also be felt on the left or right side.
