Lower Back & Disc Disorders
One of the most common conditions that patients present to our chartered physiotherapists is lower back pain. Low back pain is a common musculoskeletal symptom that may be either acute or chronic. A variety of diseases and disorders that affect the lumbar spine can cause lower back pain.
Occasionally, sciatica accompanies lower back pain. Sciatica is pain that results from irritation of the sciatic nerve and typically radiates from the buttock to the back of the thigh.
The first step in obtaining effective pain relief is identifying the symptoms, along with an accurate diagnosis of the underlying cause of the pain. The pain may travel further down the back of the calf and into the foot.
Lower back pain is extremely common but the symptoms and severity of lower back pain vary greatly.
