About this condition
Most back pain is mechanical and improves with activity, exercise and time. Pain with numbness, leg weakness or bladder changes, or pain that does not settle, needs prompt assessment.
What you may notice
Low back pain that limits sitting, bending or walking, sometimes with pain down the leg.
How we help
Work out whether the pain arises from muscles, joints or a nerve, then guide posture, exercises, medication and injections, with further tests when needed.
