Lumbago

INTRODUCTION:- 
It is a common painful condition affecting the lower portion of the spine and mainly
affects muscles, nerves and bones in the spinal area.
Lumbago is caused by spinal degeneration and injury and strain to muscles or tendons
in the back.

Lumbago SYMPTOMS:- 

• It can come suddenly and gradually. Sometimes pain occurs after a specific event like
• bending to pick something up.
• Pain may be sharp or dull and achy.
• In case of sciatica, it may radiate to the bottom or down the back of legs.
• Stiffness in back.
• Muscle spasms.
• To stand up straight is a challenge for many persons with back discomfort.
• Muscle aching, shooting, burning and stabbing sensation.
• Whenever you bend, twist, raise, stand, or walk, it may get worse.

Lumbago CAUSES:- 

There are several causes of lumbago:-
MUSCLE OR LIGAMENT STRAIN:-Frequent heavy lifting or an abrupt painful
movement might strain the back muscles and spinal ligaments.
BULGING OR RUPTURED DISKS:- the soft material inside the disk can bulge or
rupture and press on a nerve. Disk disease is often found on the spine X-RAY, CT
SCANS OR MRI’S.
ARTHRITIS:- osteoarthritis can affect  the lower back. In some cases, arthritis in the
spine can lead to a narrowing of space around the spinal cord, a condition called spinal
stenosis. 
POOR POSTURE.
SITTING OR STANDING FOR LONG PERIOD.

OSTEOPOROSIS:- If the bones become porous and fragile, the spine’s vertebrae may
suffer excruciating breakage.

RISK FACTORS:-
