| Low Back Pain Treatment Perth |
| |
| Back pain in the lower back or low back pain is a common concern, affecting up to 90% of Americans at some point in their lifetime. Up to 50% will have more than one episode. Low back pain is not a specific disease. Rather, it is a symptom that may occur from a variety of different processes. In up to 85% of people with low back pain, despite a thorough medical examination, no specific cause of the pain can be identified. |
 |
Low back pain is second only to the common cold as a cause of lost days at work. It is also one of the most common reasons to visit a doctor's office or a hospital's emergency department. |
|
For 90% of people, even those with nerve root irritation, their symptoms will improve within 2 months, no matter what treatment is used-even if no treatment is given. |
|
Doctors usually refer to back pain as acute if it has been present for less than a month and chronic if it lasts for a longer period of time |

| Symptoms of Back Pain |
| |
| Pain in the lumbosacral area (lower part of the back) is the primary symptom of low back pain. |
|
The pain may radiate down the front, side, or back of your leg, or it may be confined to the low back. |
|
The pain may become worse with activity. |
|
Occasionally, the pain may be worse at night or with prolonged sitting such as on a long car trip. |
|
You may have numbness or weakness in the part of the leg that receives its nerve supply from a compressed nerve. |
|
An example of this would be an inability to plantar flex the foot. This means you would be unable to stand on your toes or bring your foot downward. This occurs when the first sacral nerve is compressed or injured. |
|
Another example would be the inability to raise your big toe upward. This results when the fifth lumbar nerve is compromised. |
