Lower back pain is one of the most common conditions in India, Canada, and the United States, affecting more than 50 million people each year. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including injury, arthritis, and spinal cord compression.

What are the 7 most common causes of lower back pain?

Here are the five most common causes of lower back pain:

1. Weak back muscles

If you have weak back muscles, then it can be hard to maintain your balance and keep your spine in good alignment. This can lead to back pain. To help improve your back muscle strength, you can try Pilates or a similar yoga program.

You can also try wearing a support belt when doing regular activities to help support your back. If these treatments don’t work, then you may need to see a yoga expert for further treatment.

2. Lumbar spine curvature

If your lumbar spine curves too much forward or backward, this can cause lower back pain. You can try correcting your lumbar spine curvature by undergoing lumbar fusion surgery. This is a surgery that helps to realign your spine and alleviate back pain.

Low back pain is a common health problem that can be caused by a variety of factors. Some of the most common causes of low back pain include:

B. Sciatica:

Sciatica is another type of low back pain that affects the spinal cord. This condition often arises from a herniated disc in the lower spine or from impingement on nerve tissue near the spine.

Sciatica symptoms include intense pain down one leg, numbness, tingling, and weakness in that leg. Treatment for sciatica typically includes medication and/or surgery to remove the offending object or surgery to relieve the blockage in the spinal cord.

Lower back pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including disc herniation. This condition is when one or more discs in your lower back bulge out of the spinal canal and cause pain.

The most common way to treat lower back pain caused by disc herniation is through surgery. However, there are other options available, such as physical therapy and medications.
