Figuring out Lower back Suffering




abhealthytips

The causes of low back pain can be very complex, and there are many structures in the spine that can cause pain. To discover the causes of lower back pain and develop a treatment plan, doctors will ask patients to describe the location, severity and type of pain, in addition to the history of the pain: when the patient started to feel it, and any activities that might be associated with the pain.

Any of the following parts of spinal anatomy are typical sources of low back pain:

  •     The large nerve roots in the low back that go to the legs may  be irritated
  •     The smaller nerves that supply the low back may be irritated
  •     The large paired lower back muscles (erector spinae) may be strained
  •     The bones, ligaments or joints may be damaged
  •     The intervertebral disc may be degenerating

It is important to note that many types of low back pain actually have no known anatomical cause, but this doesn't mean that the pain doesn't exist. Even with no identifiable cause of pain, the patient's pain is still real and should be treated. Read More The Best Technique To Diagnose Lower Back Pain

A diagnosis will typically classify the patient’s condition as one of three types of pain. Patients can experience one type, and based on the progression of their condition, may experience another.
