Symptoms of Lower Back Pain
Back pain can present itself in a variety of ways, such as aching, burning sensations, searing pain, numbness, and more. When you experience discomfort in the lower back, you may be wondering when to visit a practitioner. While any prolonged period of pain or discomfort warrants medical attention, we generally recommend that patients seek the advice of a doctor for these symptoms:
- Pain that occurs longer than a week
- Severe pain
- Pain that spreads down the legs
- Unexplained weight changes
- Pain that causes weakness, numbness, or tingling in the legs
- Pain that is accompanied by bowel and bladder concerns
- Fever
- Pain that originates from a specific injury
Common Lower Back Pain Injuries
There are many ways the lower back can be injured; the following are common causes of pain:
- Strains in the muscles or ligaments. This is particularly common for those that lift heavy objects consistently. Repeated lifting without giving the muscles time to rest, or with improper form, can lead to strain in the back muscles.
- Ruptured or bulging spinal discs. The spinal discs act as cushions between the vertebrae. When these disks slip out of place, it can cause lower back pain.
- Injury due to arthritis or osteoporosis. Both arthritis and osteoporosis can cause our bones to weaken and increase the likelihood of injury. When this is the case, movements that may not have caused injury before can cause pain and discomfort.
If you suspect an injury in your spine, it is important to seek medical advice quickly. Injury recovery time is often much shorter when the injury is treated quickly, and our physical therapists at Twin Boro will ensure you are on a safe, effective, and efficient path to recovery.
