Low Back Pain

Lower back pain treatment ranges from simple medications to advanced medical procedures, with options varying based on the underlying cause. Nearly everyone faces this common condition at some point in their lives, making it one of the most common reasons people visit a hospital. For most individuals, the pain subsides within a month with basic home care. However, many adults worldwide suffer from chronic lower back pain (a pain lasting for more than three months or longer).

The impact of low back pain can be severe. Sometimes because of back pain a person may find it difficult or impossible to walk, sleep, work or perform daily tasks. Common lower back pain causes include arthritis, spinal stenosis, disc problems, and myofascial pain syndrome. Fortunately, various lower back pain treatments exist, from conservative approaches like physical therapy and medication to more advanced interventions when needed.

Types of Back Pain

Back pain is classified based on duration:

Acute pain (less than 4 weeks)
Subacute pain (4-12 weeks)
Chronic pain (over 12 weeks).

Additionally, pain can be categorised by location (upper, middle, or lower back) with lower back pain being more common as it bears most body weight.

Causes of Back Pain

Various factors can result in back pain. The most frequent causes are strains and sprains to muscles, tendons, or ligaments. Other causes are:

Structural issues: herniated discs, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis
Degenerative conditions: arthritis, disc disease
Inflammatory conditions: ankylosing spondylitis
Medical problems: kidney stones, infections

Lumbar disc herniation stands as a leading cause of radiculopathy (pinched nerve, where a spinal nerve gets irritated or compressed) and lower back pain, contributing significantly to global disability.

Symptoms of Back Pain

Pain is the most prominent symptom (it can vary from sharp and dull to aching, burning or throbbing). People might experience:

Stiffness or limited mobility
Posture problems making it difficult to stand straight
Muscle spasms causing extreme discomfort
Pain radiating to buttocks or legs (sciatica).

Diagnosis of Back Pain

Doctors at CARE Hospital begin with a physical examination and assess your movement ability and pain levels. They may recommend further investigations to arrive at the root cause. Some of these are mentioned below:

X-rays (to see the presence of any issues in the bones)
MRI or CT scans (revealing soft tissue problems)
Blood tests (checking for infections)
Nerve studies such as EMG (evaluating nerve function).

Treatment for Back Pain

In many cases back pain may resolve with conservative measures. Treatment options are:

Rest (doctors recommend limited rest where complete physical inactivity is prohibited)
Physical activity (walking, swimming)
Pain relievers (NSAIDs)
Muscle relaxants and physical therapy

For persistent pain, doctors might recommend steroid injections, radiofrequency ablation or nerve stimulators. Surgery remains an option primarily if symptoms persist after conservative treatment although the majority of back pain does not need surgical intervention.
