Most lower back pain is caused by lifting heavy objects, prolonged poor posture and sudden movements, such as a fall. An injury happens when excessive stress is placed on the lower back, resulting in overstretching or tearing of our soft tissues.
Lower back pain can also be caused by cancer of the spinal cord, disc injury, arthritis, and other spinal cord conditions. Acute pain will generally last for a few days to weeks, whereas chronic pain can last longer than three months.
Listed below are some of the possible symptoms you may have if you are suffering from lower back/waist pain.
Pain on your lower back when performing daily activities such as standing, walking, lifting or bending.
Difficulty when trying to get up without experiencing sharp pain on your lower back.
Numbness or dull aching pain on your lower back which may extend to your legs.
Our joints tend to wear down with age. The degeneration of joint cartilage and the underlying bone (Osteoarthritis) can cause pain and stiffness. Injury to soft tissues is a common cause of shoulder pain for young people, especially athletes.
