Lumbago

Lumbago is a term used to describe lower back pain that is of musculoskeletal origin. It is a common condition that affects millions of people and is caused by overstretching or straining of the lower back muscles. Symptoms of lumbago may include soreness or stiffness in the lower back area, pain when moving, or difficulty in standing or sitting for long periods of time. In some cases, the pain may radiate down the leg. Lumbago can be caused by a variety of factors such as poor posture, lifting heavy objects, an injury, or a congenital condition. Treatment options may include physical therapy, medications, and in some cases, surgery. It is important to consult a doctor to determine the cause and best treatment plan for your specific condition.
