Low Back Pain:

Low back pain is pain that occurs in the lower lumbar region. Lumbosciatalgia is low back pain that radiates to one or both buttocks and/or the legs in the distribution of the sciatic nerve. It can be acute (duration less than 3 weeks), subacute, or chronic (duration longer than 3 months).

Because there are so many structures in the spine (ligaments, tendons, muscles, bones, joints, intervertebral disc) there are many different causes of pain. In addition there are numerous non-rheumatological systemic diseases that can manifest with low back pain. Most lower back pain is caused by “misuse” or “overuse” of the structures of the spine (resulting in sprains and strains), repetitive strain, excess weight, minor trauma, inadequate physical conditioning, postural error, non-ergonomic position at work, and osteoarthritis of the spine (over time, the structures of the spine wear down and can lead to degeneration of the intervertebral discs and joints). Other causes include inflammatory diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis, infections, tumors,…
