Low back pain is another most common problematic condition of  today's world . 

We are considering lumbosacral pain .

Low back pain may be mechanical or among majority of patients it may be due to (PIVD) prolapsed intervertebral disc and other causes that occur only in 1-2 % .

Lumbar pain is sometimes  associated with pain radiating downwards to the leg , which is called as SCIATICA that occurs due to disc prolapse in the L4-L5 , L5-S1 . L5-S1 is the most common for disc prolapse and when it causes pressure on the nerve roots then it causes pain radiating in the leg (sciatica). 

SYMPTOMS

pain in the back 

pain radiating in the leg 

numbness in the leg

pain in forward bending of spine 

and patient will get relief in extension of spine .

If there is severe bulging of disc then it can affect the sacral plexus that may result in loss of function of foot or leg. 

TREATMENT

heat therapy in back 

self traction will be very effective

 spinal extension exercises 

SLR ( straight leg raising)

self stretching of hamstrings muscles.

self stretching of calf muscles

       lumbar belt for prevention 

avoid jerky movement
