Low back pain is a common condition affecting 60-80% of adults at some point. It is typically caused by minor trauma or injury to the back muscles or spinal disks in the lumbar region from repeated twisting or lifting of heavy objects. Common causes include degenerative disk disease and spondylosis. Risk factors include jobs involving heavy lifting/twisting and smoking. Symptoms include lower back pain that may radiate to the buttocks or legs along with tenderness, stiffness, and difficulty standing or sitting. Treatment options include allopathy, homeopathy, ayurveda, naturopathy, chiropractic manipulation, hydrotherapy, acupuncture, massage, and yoga or exercise.
