Lower Back? Where is it?

Being a doctor at the orthopedic clinic one of the most common orthopedic referral that we get is Low Back Pain. In medical lingo it has many other names such as sciatica, lumbago, slipped disc. So all those conditions are generally grouped into Low Back Pain. It is one of the most common health issue which is taken for granted by most people. It is also very often abused by people to get sick leave.

The reason why I started this blog is to convey the message to the vast majority health conscious that:

1. The lower back is one of the most potent part of our body to sustain injury. Why?

2. The Anatomy of the lower back.

3. Causes of Pain

4. Causes which needs urgent medical attention

5. Causes of pain that doesn't require a medical consultation

6. Back care advice, How to treat our back?

7. Ways to strengthen the back

This are the 7 most important points that anyone should know about the lower back.

If a person is well informed about their lower back, chances of sustaining injury to the back can be minimized.
