If you are suffering from pain in your lower back, you are not alone! Researchers estimate that more than eighty percent of us will experience low-back pain at some point in our lives. Low-back pain is even more common now than it was fifty years ago, because we spend more time sitting – in cars, at computers, watching television – and less time walking, bending and stretching.
What causes low-back pain?
Most patients with low-back pain in Gilbert, AZ have several problems that combine to cause their discomfort. They may have dysfunctions in their discs, joints, bones, nerves, muscles, ligaments and/or tendons.
Is the pain in my leg related to a problem in my lower back?
Possibly, but not necessarily. Not all leg pain is caused by sciatica; the problem may actually be in your hips.
