Understanding the condition

Lower back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal conditions. It can develop gradually through posture and repetitive strain, or suddenly after lifting, twisting or sporting activities. In some people, symptoms settle quickly, while others experience ongoing or recurring discomfort.

Common experiences

People with lower back pain often describe stiffness in the morning, pain when sitting or standing for long periods, difficulty bending, discomfort after lifting, or pain that limits walking, exercise or sleep.
