Low back pain may originate from a complex set of causes and symptoms and it is impossible to distinguish the source. It may have an identifiable muscle injury as its cause, or it may be an unknown non-traumatic condition. Low back pain and may originate from disorders in other parts of the body that eventually invade the muscles or other lower lumbar spine structures. Sometimes, low back pain can be caused by neurological or neurological tension. Other causes of low back pain are congenital disorders, trauma, infection, degenerative disease, inflammation, circulatory disorders or any one of 30 other causes. For internists, it is difficult to identify the exact cause of low back pain because of the complex composition of the human spine. The bones, discs, muscles, ligaments, tendons and many other soft tissues make up a three-dimensional maze of the human spine. This complex composition can easily obscure the actual cause of low back pain. Emotional factors can complicate the diagnosis of low back pain, sometimes leading to unnecessary surgery and loss of function, and sometimes obscuring the underlying cause of low back pain. Pain can be classified as acute or chronic. Acute pain can come on suddenly and may be caused by trauma around the spine, osteoarthritis, fractures and infections. Chronic low back pain can last for months without relief and can have many causes. Here are some of the most common causes and diagnoses of low back pain: 1. Mechanical disorders Many people who have low back pain have mechanical pain, which means that damage occurs in a specific part of the spine, such as a disc, a person’s belt or a joint, and it does not function properly.

Although conservative treatment is mostly used for this type of disorder, it can still be managed to avoid long-term loss of function and/or spinal deformity. Read more 3. Inflammatory and infectious diseases Vertebral infections are uncommon, but infectious diseases are of great importance because they are difficult to diagnose and can have serious consequences if the diagnosis is delayed. Read more 4. Tumors Tumors of the spine and spinal cord are very rare. The most common symptom is pain. Since back pain is very common, this is not a specific symptom. Read more 5. Trauma Trauma to the spine is damage to bone, soft tissue and or nerve tissue. In addition to spinal trauma, the two main concerns of surgeons are: vertebral instability or potential neurological injury.
