Common Symptoms of Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain can appear in many forms and vary in intensity. Common symptoms include:

  • Persistent aching or stiffness in the lower spine
  • Sharp or stabbing pain during movement
  • Pain that radiates into the hips or legs
  • Muscle tightness or spasms
  • Increased pain when sitting, standing, bending, or lifting
  • Reduced flexibility or limited range of motion

If these symptoms feel familiar, chiropractic care may be one of the safest and most effective solutions for long-term improvement.


Causes of Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain rarely has a single cause. It often develops from a combination of spinal stress, posture habits, and movement patterns. Common causes include:

  • Spinal misalignments (subluxations)
  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Muscle strains or ligament sprains
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Poor posture or ergonomic issues
  • Repetitive stress injuries
  • Sciatica or nerve irritation
  • Sedentary lifestyle or prolonged sitting
  • Sports injuries or heavy lifting

Dr. Awender conducts a thorough chiropractic evaluation to determine exactly what’s causing your pain and to design a personalized care plan.
