Lower back pain, also called lumbar pain, is one of the most common medical conditions worldwide. At Manhattan Lower Back Pain Doctor focuses on lower back pain diagnosis and non-surgical lower back pain treatment to help you get relief. The lower back, or lumbar region, is a sensitive area made up of tendons, muscles, nerves, joints and discs. Any one of these lumbar regions, or multiple, can be affected by a back injury or back condition and cause lower back pain. While lower back pain is a universal complaint, it affects everyone differently and is more serious depending on the duration of the back pain and other symptoms associated with it. Common symptoms associated with lower back pain include; back aches, muscle spasms, limited movement, decreased flexibility and leg pain (Sciatica).
