Symptoms and Causes
The most telling symptom is pain or aching in the lower back that varies in intensity, from dull and aching over long periods to a sharp, shooting sensation triggered by a movement.Common causes include herniated disc, facet joint damage from injury or long-term wear, spinal stenosis, compression fracture, scoliosis, and spondylolisthesis.Back pain can be acute, meaning short-term, or chronic, meaning long-term. Chronic pain usually needs a number of alternative and interventional options to provide consistent relief.

When to Seek Care
Acute back pain can usually be treated with conservative measures such as hot or cold compresses, massage therapy, or over-the-counter pain relievers. Surgery is rarely needed.Your specialist will ask about your symptoms and perform a physical exam. Depending on the extent of the pain, an X-ray, CT scan, MRI, or EMG study may be requested.If home treatment and proper body mechanics have not settled things within a few weeks, an evaluation is reasonable. The next step is a conversation.
