Low Back Pain
What is Low Back Pain?
Low back pain is a common condition that affects the area between the rib cage and the pelvis. It can range from mild discomfort to severe, debilitating pain, often interfering with daily activities and quality of life. Low back pain can result from injury, strain, or an underlying condition and is one of the most frequent reasons people seek medical care.

Why Does Low Back Pain Occur?
Sudden movements, improper lifting, or overuse.
Compression of spinal nerves due to displaced discs.
Chronic slouching or improper alignment during work or sleep.
Such as osteoarthritis or degenerative disc disease.
Sports injuries, falls, or accidents can strain or damage the lower back.
Sciatica, spondylolisthesis, or osteoporosis can lead to pain.
Each patient’s pain has a unique cause, which is why a tailored treatment plan is essential.
