Lower back pain is one of the most common health concerns worldwide. It can affect people of all ages and often interferes with daily activities, work, and overall quality of life. While many cases improve with simple care, persistent or severe back pain may require advanced evaluation and treatment.

At Endoneurospine, we focus on identifying the root cause of back pain and providing personalized treatment solutions using minimally invasive and endoscopic techniques, helping patients recover according to their individual condition and clinical needs.

What Causes Lower Back Pain?

Lower back pain can result from various factors, including:

  • Muscle strain

    — due to poor posture, heavy lifting, or sudden movements
  • Disc problems

    — such as herniated or degenerative discs
  • Spinal stenosis

    — narrowing of the spinal canal
  • Arthritis

    — age-related wear and tear in the spine
  • Lifestyle factors

    — prolonged sitting, lack of exercise, or obesity
  • Injuries

    — from accidents or sports activities

Common Symptoms

Lower back pain can present in different ways, such as:

  • A dull or sharp pain in the lower back
  • Pain that radiates to the legs (sciatica)
  • Stiffness, especially in the morning
  • Difficulty standing or walking for long periods
  • Numbness or tingling in the legs
  • Reduced flexibility

Modern Treatment Options

Treatment depends on the underlying cause and severity of the condition. Options may include:

Conservative Care

Medication, physiotherapy, and lifestyle changes.

Minimally Invasive Procedures

Selected endoscopic techniques where clinically appropriate.

Pain Management

Targeted treatments to help manage symptoms and support function.

Surgical Solutions

Surgical approaches may be considered for selected cases when clinically appropriate.

When to See a Specialist?

If your back pain persists for more than a few weeks, worsens over time, or is accompanied by numbness, weakness, or difficulty walking, it is important to consult a spine specialist. Evaluation helps determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment options.
