Lower Back Pain: Causes, Diagnosis & Treatment

Back Pain

Back pain has become one of the most common disorder today. With a rise in sedentary jobs, back and lower back pain have become widespread. However, there could be many other reasons attributing to back pain such as injury, medical conditions or age. 

As we grow old, the chance of developing lower back pain increases. Factors such as previous occupation and degenerative disk disease are responsible for lower back pain in old age. 

The human back is composed of a complex structure of muscles, ligaments, tendons, disks, and bones and it can be to a myriad of things in the bony such as lumbar spine, discs between the vertebrae, ligaments around the spine and discs, spinal cord and nerves, lower back muscles, abdominal and pelvic internal organs. 

Causes of lower back pain 

Lower back pain can be caused due to various reasons such as strain, structural problems, postures and others. 

Strain 

Strain could be caused by 

  • Strained muscles or ligaments 
  • A muscle spasm and muscle tension 
  • Damaged disks 
  • Injuries such as fractures 

Activities that can lead to strain are 

  • Lifting something improperly or something which is too heavy 
  • An abrupt and awkward bodily movement 

Structural Problems 

There are a number of structural problems that lead to lower back pain, they are: 

  • Ruptured disks: Each vertebra in the spine is cushioned by disks and in case the disk ruptures the pressure in the nerve would increase, which will result in back pain. 
  • Bulging disks: A bulging disk can have the same effect i.e. increase in the pressure on the nerve. 
  • Sciatica: Sciatica is a shooting pain that travels through the buttocks to the back of the legs. It is caused by a bulging disk pressing on a nerve. 
  • Arthritis 
  • Abnormal curvature of the spine: Lower back pain can also be caused due to unusual curve in the spine. 
  • Osteoporosis: It is a condition where bones of the spine become brittle and porous, making compression fractures more likely to occur. 
  • Kidney problems: Even kidney problems can cause back pain. 

 

Movement & Postures 

Bad postures are a major reason for back as well as lower back pains. With more sedentary jobs than ever, today postures and sitting habits are one of the main causes of back pain. 

  • Twisting 
  • Over-stretching 
  • Bending awkwardly 
  • Standing or sitting for long periods 
  • Straining the neck forward while driving or using a computer 
  • Long driving sessions 
  • Sleeping on a wrong mattress 

 

Diagnosis 

Back pain can be diagnosed by a doctor through a routine physical examination or by simply asking questions. A step ahead could be, getting scans done, such as 

  • X-rays throw light on alignment of the bones. They can detect signs of arthritis and broken bones. 
  • MRI and CT scans can reveal herniated disks or problems with tissue, tendons, nerves, ligaments, blood vessels, muscles, and bones. 
  • Bone scans can detect bone tumors.

Bought for my husband who recently had surgery in buttocks area because muscles were torn from the bone on backside of left leg. He is having trouble sitting for a period of time and hard to drive. This cushion is helping especially when driving. Very pleased with the results.

I bought this item to relieve the pain associated with hours in the driver seat. The workmanship of the item is great, and the pad is performing well. I'm really interested in finding out how well it will hold up after a month or so.

The seat cushion has helped me tremendously. I recently fractured my tailbone. Since surgery isn’t an option my spine surgeon suggested a seat cushion for relief while waiting for epidural injections. This cushion has made sitting a little more bearable.

Overall experience has been wonderful. I drive a dump truck, and 8 to 12 hours in the truck everyday has been causing me lower back problems. The product has stopped my lower back pain. I will buy the product again and also recommend it to friends.

The seat in my new vehicle was less than supportive and my lower back felt "out of sorts" if I spent more than 20 minutes in the vehicle. This cushion has changed all of that, making hours-long trips completely comfortable!

I enjoy the comfort this cushion provides so much that I move it from my office chair, to my truck and to my couch on a daily basis. My wife finally told me to please just buy another cushion so I don't have to keep moving it around!
