Coming soonBack pain is a common musculoskeletal symptom characterized by discomfort, soreness, or stiffness occurring along the spine, most frequently localized to the lumbar region.
It arises across all demographic groups and affects structures of the axial skeleton, paraspinal musculature, ligaments, intervertebral discs, and associated spinal nerves.
Clinically, it ranges from acute muscular strains and mechanical injuries to chronic presentations driven by degenerative changes, disc herniation, facet arthropathy, or radicular nerve root compression.
Pathophysiologically, the symptom stems from mechanical disruption, tissue inflammation, or neurovascular impingement, manifesting as dull somatic aches, sharp lancinating discomfort, or radicular pain that impairs mobility.
