Back pain is a widespread issue globally, leading many to seek medical attention or miss work and it remains a top cause of disability. From muscular discomfort to shooting sensations, back pain varies widely and can affect daily activities like bending or standing. Its origins span from the lumbar spine to muscles, organs, and nerves in the lower back region. Various factors contribute to back pain, including trauma, poor posture, and underlying conditions like osteoporosis or sciatica. Risk factors for back pain include age, sedentary lifestyles, excess weight, and psychological factors like depression. Preventive measures include regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and proper lifting techniques. Knowing when to seek medical attention is crucial, especially if pain persists, radiates down the legs, or is accompanied by weakness or numbness. Treatment options range from over-the-counter medications to physiotherapy, focusing on alleviating pain, improving mobility, and enhancing overall well-being through tailored interventions like manual therapy or core strengthening exercises.
