Low back pain

Low back pain, or lumbago, is a common disorder affecting the muscles, nerves, and bones between the lower edge of the ribs and the lower fold of the buttocks, characterized by pain that can range from a dull ache to a sharp sensation and is classified by duration as acute, sub-chronic, or chronic. Chronic low back pain involves long-term pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion, potentially making it difficult to stand straight, though symptoms generally improve within a few weeks for most individuals.
