What is low back pain
Low back pain is a common condition that affects the lower part of the spine and can range from mild discomfort to severe, debilitating pain. It is one of the most frequent musculoskeletal issues, and most people in Ontario will experience it at least once in their lifetime.
What can cause low back pain
Low back pain can arise from a variety of causes, ranging from acute injuries to long-term lifestyle factors. Sudden movements, such as lifting heavy objects improperly or twisting awkwardly, can strain muscles and ligaments, leading to immediate pain. Repetitive activities like bending, cleaning, or shoveling can also contribute to overuse injuries. On the other hand, prolonged inactivity—such as sitting for extended hours at a desk—can weaken the muscles that support the spine, increasing the risk of pain and stiffness. Other contributing factors include poor posture, lack of physical activity, stress, and even underlying conditions like arthritis or disc degeneration. Understanding these causes is essential for both prevention and effective management of low back pain.
Certain conditions can contribute to low back pain, either as primary causes or aggravating factors. These include:
- Muscle Strains
- Herniated Discs
- Spinal Stenosis
- Disc Degenerative Disease
- Mechanical Low back pain
While these conditions can sometimes appear on medical imaging without causing symptoms, they may still play a role in back pain for some individuals. Understanding their impact can help guide proper treatment and management strategies.
