Request an AppointmentWhy Lower Back Pain Happens
Your lower back carries much of your body’s weight and handles constant bending, lifting, and twisting. Pain can start in the discs, the facet joints, the nerves, the muscles, or the bones of the spine. Pain that stays in the back is often joint- or muscle-related, while pain that travels into the buttock and leg usually points to an irritated nerve. Sudden back pain in someone with weak bones may signal a compression fracture.
