An irritation or problem which causes lower back pain and/or pain that radiates to other parts of the body is referred to as Back Pain. Pain from resultant lower back muscle spasm can be severe and pain can form number of syndromes which can become chronic if not treated well on time.

While lower back pain is extremely common, the symptoms and severity of lower back pain may vary greatly. A simple lower back muscle strain might be excruciating enough to necessitate an emergency room visit, while a degenerating disc might cause only mild, intermittent discomfort.
