What Hurts? Understanding Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain affects up to 80% of individuals at some point in their lives. It’s one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, often interfering with work, mobility, and daily life. While some cases resolve quickly, others become chronic and require ongoing care to maintain function and alleviate discomfort.

Common Symptoms of Hip Pain

  • Pain when bending forward or lifting objects.

  • Morning stiffness or difficulty getting out of bed.

  • Discomfort while sitting, standing, or driving for extended periods.

  • Persistent tightness in the lower back and hips.

  • Recurrent sacroiliac (SI) joint pain.

  • Muscle "knots" or spasms.

What Causes Lower Back Pain?

​

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction: Dysfunctional movement patterns of the pelvis.

Disc Degeneration: Wear and tear on spinal discs over time.

Nerve Entrapment: Pinched nerves leading to pain or numbness.

Muscle Strain: Overuse or injury to lower back muscles.

Herniated Discs: Protrusion of spinal discs causing nerve irritation.

💡 Did you know? Lower back pain costs the Australian healthcare system $2.8 billion annually, accounting for 23% of musculoskeletal health expenses.
