3 Common Causes of Lower Back Pain

Arthritis of the Spine is the most common cause of lower back pain, resulting from the gradual degeneration of spinal joints. As we age, wear and tear is inevitable, leading to the breakdown of cartilage between these joints. This deterioration can cause inflammation in surrounding tissues, increasing friction and resulting in discomfort in the lower back.

Back Injuries can arise from various activities, from a fall or car accident to everyday tasks like carrying a laundry basket. Interestingly, injuries can occur just as easily during routine activities, such as bending to pick up a sock.

Herniated Discs occur when a disc bulges out of its lining, often in the lower back. While it may not always cause pain, it can press on nearby nerves, leading to discomfort in the lower back and other areas. Understanding these conditions can help you seek appropriate treatment and manage pain effectively.
