Pain in the lower back or low back pain is a common condition that affects most people at some point during their life. Low back pain may reflect nerve or muscle irritation or bone lesions. It also can have many underlying reasons, but often no specific cause will be found and the pain will stop.
If you have lower back pain, you are not alone. Nearly everyone at some point has back pain that interferes with work, routine daily activities, or recreation. As people age, bone strength and muscle elasticity and tone tend to decrease. The discs begin to lose fluid and flexibility, which decreases their ability to cushion the vertebrae. Back pain is the second most common neurological ailment in the United States — only headaches are more common. Fortunately, most occurrences of low back pain go away within a few days. Others take much longer to resolve or lead to more serious conditions.
In most instances, low back pain only lasts for a week or so, but many people find the problem recurs unless they alter their lifestyle and the way in which they perform daily activities. You can do some exercise to speed recovery from low back pain and help strengthen back and abdominal muscles like speed walking, swimming, or stationary bike riding 30 minutes a day that can increase muscle strength and flexibility. If the cause of the pain is indeed physical, make sure to get a complete examination by your doctor.
