Back Pain

Back pain is a pain located in the lower area of the vertebral spine (lumbar spine). The area presents five vertebrae, the saccro and the tail bone, which surround and protect the spinal marrow, and nerve roots which spreads to the thighs, legs and feet.

Symptoms:
The pain is usually located in the lumbar area, hips (pelvis) and/or saccro. The symptoms usually associated with the pain may be a tingling, burning or shocking (stinging) sensation, among others. Depending on the extension of the pressure on the nerve root, the pain can spread to the buttocks or the legs on the afflicted side, sometimes spreading to the feet, and may or may not be joined by the aforementioned symptoms.

Causes:
In most of the cases, the pain is caused by a lumbar spine disorder, and it can be joined by other factors such as muscular spasms, herniated disc, scoliosis, arthrosis, and more.
