  • Lower back corresponds to the lumbar region 
  • It consist of five vertebrates L1to L5 
  • It possesses a slight curve called as lordoitic curve. 
  • Important structures in the  lower back that corresponds directly to the pain are 
  • Lumbar spine 
  • Disc between the vertebral column  
  • Muscles around it  like Quadratus Lumborum and Multifidus 
  • Internal organs  of the  stomach and pelvis can also cause severe to mild pain.
  • Spinal nerves
  • Between the lumbar vertebrae a soft cushion like structure is present it is called as disc it acts like a shock absorber.
  • Disc has the two main parts the central piece is known as nucleus pulposus and the peripheral part is known as annulus fibrosis.

Causes of lower back pain

 Muscle strain-

  •   It occurs due to heavy lifting of objects or twisting exercises  
  •     It occurs when muscle or any connective tissue, such as tendon gets stretched or pulled

Lumbar radiculopathy 

  • It occurs when the disc between the lumbar vertebrae gets damaged due to degeneration or wear and tear.
  • Lumbar radiculopathy is the main cause of sciatica 


Sciatica 


  • There is a nerve, which passes from lumbar spine it is known as sciatic never 
  • When any injury hits you or if you discs has undergone sever wear and tear your disc rupture and it moves out it is known as herniated disc 
  • This herniated disc compresses the sciatic never it is also called as nerve impingement 
  • Due to this compression you suffer from tingling, numbness and painful sensation along its whole class which include buttocks region your leg and your lower back.
  • To know more about it keep following my blog 


Bony encroachment 

  • It is a term in which bony lumbar vertebrae grows and limits down the space for spinal roots and nerves  
  • This causes narrowing of spinal nerves passage due to which spinal nerve gets squeezed. 
  • This outcomes in various conditions like arthritis, spondylolisthesis (In this one vertebra slips over the other.) or spinal stenosis (in this spinal nerve root gets compressed due to bony outgrowth)


Congenital causes

Spondylosis 


  • As our age increases our cartilage goes under degeneration because of loss of water and protein content. 
  • This degeneration of vertebrae and cartilage is known as spondylosis 
  • This is the primary cause of low back pain as our vertebrae is partly composed of cartilage  


Osteoarthritis 

  • Age is the major causing factor of osteoarthritis
