WHAT IS

LOWER BACK PAIN?

Lower back pain is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It can result from various factors, including poor posture, muscle strain, herniated discs, or degenerative conditions like arthritis. Symptoms can range from a dull ache to sharp, debilitating pain that limits mobility and affects daily activities.

  • This pain is usually described as buttock or ‘low’ low back pain. The pain is caused by inflammation of the sacroiliac joint irritating the sacroiliac nerves. Pain can radiate either up into the lower back or down into the buttocks and legs.

  • The discs are fluid filled areas between the vertebra of the spine that allows for shock absorption. A disc herniation (slipped disc) is where the fluid in the middle of the disc is pushed out and causes extreme irritation of the adjacent nerve. This is why a slipped disc is so painful and can cause leg pain and muscle spasm. Chiropractic can aid in disc healing and reducing pain, but we may refer to the GP for pain management and MRI referral to assist this.

  • Usually described as pain in the lower curve of the spine, this is caused by restriction in the lumbar (low back) facet joints causing inflammation which can irritate the nerve and cause pain.

  • The sciatic nerve is the large nerve that travels from the pelvis all the way down into the foot. Sciatica is pain radiating down the back of the leg and into the foot, it is usually caused by irritation of the nerve either by a joint, disc or muscle.
