The Facts
Low back pain is extremely common. In fact, about 4 out of 5 adults will experience low back pain at some point in their life. It’s a leading reason for missed work and a top cause of disability worldwide. Fortunately, majority of cases are not serious and can improve with the right care and support.
The Anatomy
Your lower back—also called the lumbar spine—is a complex structure made up of:
- Vertebrae (spinal bones)
- Discs (softer cushions between vertebrae)
- Muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other connective tissue (support and move the spine)
- Nerves (allow you to feel and move).
Collectively, these parts work together to support your body and allow you to bend, twist, lift, and move.
Common Symptoms of Low Back Pain
Low back pain can feel different for everyone. Some may experience:
- A dull, aching pain
- Sharp or stabbing pain with movement
- Stiffness or tightness in the lower back
- Pain that travels down one or both legs
- Difficulty standing upright or walking
