Leading Cause of Low Back Pain

What is causing my lower back pain?

"Discogenic Low Back Pain"

The leading cause of lower lumbar pain is nerve irritation, triggered by factors ranging from acute injuries, such as bending and twisting, to prolonged periods of sitting. The nerves that emerge from the spinal canal in the lumbar spine and branch out to the skin and muscles in our back, hips, and legs become irritated from increased pressure.

The increase in pressure results from the lumbar spine disc exerting force on the nerve roots. This is often called a "disc bulge" or "disc herniation".

Common Questions and Answers

1. What causes back sprains and strains?

  • Your lumbar spine, consisting of five stacked bones with shock-absorbing discs in between, relies heavily on surrounding muscles and ligaments for support. Sprains and strains occur when these tissues are stretched beyond their normal capacity, similar to a rope fraying when overstretched.

2. How common is low back pain?

  • It's very common. The majority of people will experience low back pain at some point in their lives, and 70% of these cases can be attributed to sprain/strain injuries.

3. What activities can lead to lumbar sprains and strains?

  • Lumbar sprains and strains can result from sudden or forceful movements such as falls, twists, lifts, pushes, pulls, direct blows, or quickly straightening up from a seated position. Often, they are not the result of a single event but rather from repeated overloading.

4. What is the leading cause of lower lumbar pain?

  • The leading cause is "Discogenic Low Back Pain," which involves nerve irritation due to factors like acute injuries (bending and twisting) or prolonged sitting. Increased pressure on the nerves from the lumbar spine disc is often referred to as a "disc bulge" or "disc herniation."

5. What are the signs and symptoms of Discogenic low back pain?
