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
arent 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.

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 theres 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.

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. The pain may increase from
    bending forward, backward, or side-to-side
    limiting your activity.
  • The spinal muscle spasms result in the back
    feeling stiff and sore.
  • Lower back pain and muscle spasms can be acute
    and affect the posture usually on one side.
  • Lumbago may cause tingling sensations usually
    felt in the low back, buttocks, and legs.
  • Swelling or inflammation in the back or leg.
  • Lower back pain if you sneeze or cough.
  • Restricted movement of the spine.
  • Localized pain.
