This back pain mostly happens when you stress yourself with lifting heavy objects improperly. You will feel a dull ache or maybe a soreness in the muscles, often in the lower back. You might find it hard to move comfortably and freely. The affected area might feel tender to the touch, too. You will need to rest and do gentle stretching. Drugstore pain relievers are an option to help with the pain.
When one of the soft discs between the bones in your spine bulges or ruptures, it can push on nearby nerves. That also leads to pain. This pain can be sharp and shooting, especially down one leg. You might also feel numbness, tingling, or weakness in the affected area. Treatment options depend upon patients’ needs but may include rest and physiotherapy.
Due to aging or due to wear and tear, discs gradually get broken down in your spine. Patients may experience chronic, low-grade pain in the affected area. Symptoms also include stiffness and flexibility being hampered. To avoid this, you need to avoid doing physical activities and rest more. Management typically involves exercises to strengthen the back muscles, along with pain management strategies.
Here, the spaces within your spine get narrow by putting a lot of pressure on one’s spinal cord and nerves. This can cause pain, numbness, or weakness in the legs. And that mostly happens when you are walking or standing for a longer period of time. Resting or bending forward often relieves symptoms temporarily. Treatment for this includes physiotherapy and medications too to ease the pain.
This is the abnormal sideways curvature of the spine. It generally develops in adolescence when the growth spurts and can cause uneven shoulders, hips, or waist. If it is noticed that the curvature worsens, it leads to back pain and stiffness. The approach of the treatment depends on the extent of the curvature and may include observation and bracing.
The sensation travels along the path of the sciatic nerve. It goes from your lower back and then down the back of each leg. This pain can be very intense.

To get better, one needs to rest and get on pain relief medication. Physiotherapy is also needed to relieve nerve pressure.

This involves stretching the back of your thigh muscles. This helps you to release tension that is affecting your lower back. Imagine reaching towards your toes while sitting or standing, feeling the gentle pull in the back of your leg.
These exercises involve arching your back gently. This movement helps you to strengthen the spine as well as your muscles.
Inspired by yoga, this movement is all about arching your back alternately. Gently rocking your spine to improve its flexibility and reduce stiffness.
This stretch is for the muscles at the front of your hip. By stretching these muscles, you can relieve pressure on your lower back and feel more relaxed and comfortable.
In this movement, you extend one arm and the opposite leg while on your hands and knees. By doing this exercise, you strengthen your core muscles and stabilize your spine.

This stretch targets the piriformis muscle that is located in your buttocks. When you stretch this muscle, the pressure gets relieved on the sciatic nerve and lessens lower back pain. This helps them to feel more relaxed and comfortable.
