Description: Lumbago refers to pain located in the lower back, a common condition that can affect people of all ages. This pain can vary in intensity, from mild discomfort to debilitating acute pain. Lumbago can be caused by various factors, including muscle injuries, issues with intervertebral discs, arthritis, or degenerative conditions of the spine. Additionally, factors such as a sedentary lifestyle, obesity, and lack of exercise can contribute to its onset. Lumbago not only affects the quality of life of those who suffer from it but can also interfere with daily, work, and recreational activities. It is important to note that while lumbago can be a symptom of a more serious condition, in many cases it is of mechanical origin and can resolve with appropriate treatment and lifestyle changes. Prevention is key, and it is recommended to maintain good posture, engage in strengthening and stretching exercises, and avoid lifting heavy objects incorrectly.
