Treatment of Back Pain: Symptoms, Causes, and Measures
Acute Lumbago (lumbago acuta) is a sudden and intense pain in the lower back that can significantly limit mobility. This acute lower back pain can make movement difficult and greatly affect daily life. Most people experience issues with acute lumbago at some point in their lives. This article discusses the most common symptoms, causes, and treatment options for acute lumbago.
What is Treatment for Back Pain?
Treatment for back pain usually involves rest, pain-relieving medications, and physical therapy. Cold and heat therapy can reduce muscle tension, and targeted exercises improve mobility. Consult with a healthcare provider for severe symptoms.
Symptoms of Lower Back Pain
Common symptoms of lower back pain include:
- Sudden, intense pain in the lower back (lumbar region)
- Difficulties moving, especially bending forward
- Muscle cramps or tension in the back muscles
- Pain that worsens with certain movements or positions
- Sensation of locking in the back
When lower back pain occurs, it often feels like the back locks into a specific position. The pain can be so severe that it becomes difficult to move at all. In some cases, the pain radiates down the leg (sciatica), which may indicate nerve involvement. The acute pain in the lumbar region can also lead to stiffness and, in some cases, reduced sensation.
Causes of Lower Back Pain
Several factors can contribute to the development of acute lower back pain:
- Improper lifting or sudden movements, especially heavy lifts at a 90-degree angle
- Overuse or improper loading of the back muscles
- Poor posture or prolonged sitting in inappropriate positions
- Stress and muscle tension affecting the lumbar area
- Underlying spinal issues such as herniated discs or ligament inflammation
Lower back pain is often triggered by a combination of factors, and the pain can be initiated by seemingly simple movements. The acute pain often comes along with muscle cramps. Individuals with recurrent lower back pain frequently have reduced muscle strength in that area.
