Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain is by far one of the most common conditions and one of the leading causes of physician visits. If you have lower back pain, your lower back pain will generally be classified as either acute or chronic:

* Acute lower back pain is a short term ailment and will last from a few days to a few weeks. Some acute pain ailments can become more serious if left untreated.

* Chronic lower back pain is often defined as pain that persists for a longer period of time. The pain may be constant, or your lower back pain may flare up and down at different times.

Determining the cause may be difficult if you do not already know exactly when, where, and how the injury occurred.

Most low back pain is caused by muscle strain, overuse, and/or injury to the muscles, ligaments, and discs that support the spine.

This can lead to other problems and can cause continuous stress and strain on the muscles, ligaments, bones, and discs, making the back more prone to injury or re-injury.

This can also leave your back in a constant state of pain and inflammation. As we have talked about before inflammation can add to your pain and wreak havoc on your body and chronic inflammation can even be part of the cause of your lower back pain.
