What Causes Low Back Discomfort?

Lower back pain can stem from a complex array of physical and lifestyle factors. Some of the most frequent causes include:

  1. Muscle Strain: Overexertion, heavy lifting or poor posture can lead to inflammation and discomfort.
  2. Herniated Discs: Discs that press against nerve roots can result in radiating pain and numbness.
  3. Sciatica: Compression of the sciatic nerve often stems from issues in the lower back.
  4. Degenerative Disc Disease: Age-related wear and tear can reduce cushioning between vertebrae.
  5. Poor Posture: Prolonged sitting, heavy lifting, or improper sleeping positions strain the lumbar region.

By understanding the root cause of your pain we can develop a targeted, personalized treatment approach to relief.
