Lower Back Pain Overview

Many people develop lower back pain at one time or another in their lives. In order to understand the many causes of back pain and low back pain it is important to understand the symptoms. Symptoms of back injury can include severe lower back pain during activity; back pain that prevents them from doing activities; or lower back pain at night that prevents them from sleeping. Low back pain can often arise from symptoms that develop in everyday wear and tear, overuse, or injury. Lower back problems and back injuries most often occur during sports or recreational activities, work-related tasks, or home projects.

The causes of pain in the low back, or lumbosacral region, tend to add on to one another. For example, after straining muscles, you are likely to walk or move in different ways to avoid back pain or to use muscles that aren't sore. That can cause you to strain other muscles that don't usually move that way. See the illustration of the back on this page to explore more about lower back conditions.
