Backache or back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical help or miss work. Back pain is a leading cause of disability worldwide.

Lower backache

Lower back pain, sometimes called lumbago, is not a specific disease diagnosis. It’s a symptom of several different types of medical problems.

It usually results from a problem with one or more parts of the lower back, such as:

  • ligaments and muscles
  • discs
  • intervertebral discs
  • nerves
  • the bony structures that make up the spine, called vertebral bodies or vertebrae

It can also be due to a problem with nearby organs, such as the kidneys.
