The origins of lower back pain are diverse, frequently rooted in musculoskeletal injuries or degeneration processes. Acute lower back pain often stems from strained muscles or soft tissue injuries, manifesting in a sudden surge of pain as the tissue stretches or tears.

Unsafe lifting techniques, poor posture, overexertion, or awkward movements can contribute to these injuries. Additionally, other underlying issues such as falls, accidents, arthritis, herniated spinal discs, scoliosis, osteoporosis, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and osteophytes (bone spurs) can trigger lower back pain.

While chronic conditions like osteoarthritis and osteoporosis lead to enduring back pain, untreated acute injuries can also evolve into chronic discomfort.

When severe lower back pain strikes, mild discomfort persists, or chronic issues arise, seeking care at Interstate Medical Group is the right course of action. Our expertise encompasses:
