The symptoms of lower back pain can indicate a number of problems.

We usually talk about lower back pain when we experience an uncomfortable sensation between the lower rib cage and the tailbone. The pain can also radiate down the leg. We can talk about acute low back pain if the pain has been present for less than 1 month. If the pain has been present for 2-3 months, it is subacute. If the problem has persisted for more than 3 months, it is chronic.

A big misconception about back pain is that it is caused by herniated discs. Only 4% of cases are caused by a hernia. More common is muscle and ligament strain, which is the cause in 70% of cases. Lower back pain can be caused by sudden movements, lifting a heavy weight, but incorrect posture can also be a problem. We talk about non-specific low back pain when the origin of the pain is not linked to the musculoskeletal system but is simply caused by an inappropriate movement or stress.

There is specific lower back pain, which is one type of pain due to nerve root damage and another type of pain due to nerve root inflammation. The other type is pain due to spinal column disorders (osteoporosis, articular cartilage damage, disc herniation).
 

Treatment is usually non-surgical, with an injection or painkiller given by the doctor to relieve the pain. This may be supplemented by physiotherapy or physiotherapy exercises as this helps to strengthen the muscles of the spine. Surgery is only recommended if no treatment has helped. Natural methods are also recommended. Maximum balm may be one of the best natural solutions for back pain, as it contains 19 extraordinary herbs.
