Common Causes of Lower Back Pain in Human
Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment
Lower back pain can be caused by a variety of problems with any parts of the complex, interconnected network of spinal muscles, nerves, bones, discs or tendons in the lumbar spine. Typical sources of low back pain include:
•The large nerve roots in the low back that go to the legs may be
irritated
•The smaller nerves that supply the low back may be irritated
•The large paired lower back muscles (erector spinae) may be
strained
•The bones, ligaments or joints may be damaged
•An intervertebral disc may be degenerating
Common Causes in Adults
Certain causes of lower back pain have a tendency to occur more often in younger individuals versus older adults:
•Younger adults (30 to 60 year olds) are more likely to experience back pain from the disc space itself (e.g. lumbar disc herniationor degenerative disc disease) or from a back muscle strain or other soft tissue strain.
•Older adults (over 60) are more likely to suffer from pain related to joint degeneration (such as osteoarthritis or spinal stenosis) or from a compression fracture.

Immediate Treatment for Lower Back Pain
Most cases of low back pain do not require urgent care, but anyone should see a doctor immediately if low back pain is a result of trauma, or if pain is accompanied by any of the following symptoms:
•Fever and chills
•Unexplained recent weight loss
•Significant leg weakness
•Sudden bowel and/or bladder incontinence—either difficulty passing urine
or having a bowel movement, or loss of control of urination or bowel
movement (cauda equina syndrome)
•Severe, continuous abdominal pain (abdominal aortic aneurysm)
In cases where immediate treatment is a required, physicians will investigate possible serious causes of the pain, including any type of spinal infection, tumor or fracture.
