...1. cervical region (neck) 2. coccygeal region (tail bone) 3. thoracic region (upper back) 4. lumbosacral region (lower back) Most people will suffer from lower back pain at some point in life. In many instances, the cause is unknown; however, causes of lower back pain are many. Examples of causes of lower back pain include: 1. Injury to muscles and ligaments, which can be due to heavy lifting, twisting and sudden forceful or jerky movements. 2. Muscle spasms - injury to any of the structures of the spine can cause the back muscles to go into spasms. 3. Disc problems - (rupture/prolapse/herniation or slipped disc). The discs are pads of cartilage between the small bones of the spine (vertebrae). As a person advances in age, these discs become thinner (degenerative changes). The center of each disc contains a jelly-like substance which may bulge out and compress nerve roots causing pain and other symptoms. Disc herniation may also result from trauma or pressure on the discs. 4. Sciatica - in some clients, the huge sciatic nerve which leaves the spine and runs down the lower extremities, becomes compressed or injured resulting in back pain which radiates to the buttocks, posterior thigh and legs. This is known as sciatica. 5. Osteoarthritis - this results in disc degeneration and chronic back pain. 6. Bone diseases such as osteoporosis or cancerous tumors of the bone. 7. Other conditions - sometimes the primary source of the back pain can be infection or diseases of other organs, for example the kidneys. Pelvic or bladder infections, ovarian tumors or pregnancy are also sources of lower back pain.
