LOWER BACK PAIN (LUMBAGO)
Lower back pain, also known as lumbago, is commonly recognized by pain in the lumbar region of the spine, but it can radiate to other areas along the spine, including the neck or hips. This pain often appears suddenly and may spread to the buttocks.
SYMPTOMS
- Reduced mobility and stiffness in the lower back
- Muscle cramps on one side of the back
- Sharp pain when performing specific movements
POSSIBLE CAUSES
- Lifting while twisting the back (e.g., when shoveling snow)
- Poor posture or working position, such as leaning forward
- Inadequate warming up before physical activity
- Stiff or tight muscles
TREATMENT
- Rest in a position that is comfortable and pain-free
- Engage in light activity (such as short walks) to promote circulation within the first few days without exacerbating pain
- Gradually increase exercise intensity, focusing on mobility, stability, and strength training
- Use anti-inflammatory medications to alleviate pain and swelling
- Avoid activities that worsen the pain
- If the pain persists or worsens, consult a doctor or physiotherapist
