  1. Lumbago or Lower Back Pain Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment

  2. Understanding Lower Back Pain or Lumbago People commonly suffer from musculoskeletal disorders such as lumbago. These people often have a hard time enjoying everyday activities that used to bring them pleasure. Mainly, this condition refers to a pain shooting from the lower back region. About 80 percent of the United State suffer from lumbago or lower back pain. Sometimes you may have lower back pain but aren’t sure of the symptoms of lumbago. Low back pain mostly results from an injury, such as muscle sprains or strains due to sudden movements or poor body mechanics while lifting heavy objects. Acute lower back pain can last from a few days to a few weeks whereas, chronic back pain usually lasts longer than three months.

  3. Cause of Lower Back Pain Lumbago mostly affects individuals between the ages of 30 and 50. Lumbago usually occurs due to changes in the body due to aging as there’s a reduction in the fluid content between the vertebrae in the spine. The discs in the spine experience irritation more easily. With age, you also lose some muscle tone making the back more prone to injury. Therefore, strengthening your back muscles along with good body mechanics helps in preventing low back pain. Lumbago can be caused by various reasons, including: Strains: Excessive activity leads to stretching or tearing the back muscles and ligaments. You may experience pain and stiffness in the lower back, as well as muscle spasms that get better with rest and physical therapy. 2. Disc Injury: The disc is prone to injury due to aging. The outside of the disc can tear or herniate. The disc may rupture or slip as the cartilage surrounding the disc pushes against the spinal cord or nerve roots. This can cause compression of the nerve root as it exits from the spinal cord and through the vertebral bones. The disc injury usually occurs unexpectedly due to lifting something or twisting the back.

  4. Symptoms of Lower Back Pain • Some of the common symptoms of lumbago include: • Low back pain radiating to the buttocks, back of the thigh, till the groin. • Lower back pain or lumbago may be aggravated during movement.
