Non-Specific Lower Back Pain

This is the most common type of mechanical low back pains. More than 95% of cases of acute low back pain (sudden onset) are non-specific low back pain. The root cause of non-specific low back pain is not due to any underlying disease that can be found. The causes may be a sprain (an over-stretch) of a muscle or ligament of spinal vertebrae, a minor problem with a disc between two vertebrae or a minor problem with a small 'facet' joint between two vertebrae. Non-specific low back pain may develop immediately after lifting something heavy, twisting movement or you just wake up with low back pain. Typically, the low back pain is in one area of the back, but sometimes it spreads to the buttocks or thighs. The low back pain is usually eases by lying down flat, and is often get worse if you move your back, cough, or sneeze. Non-specific low back pain is also called: mechanical back pain, Simple backache, Lumbago, Chronic back pain, Muscular back pain.
