Do you often have lower back pain? Maybe Caused By This!

Low back pain (LBP) is often felt by humans, especially office workers or those of advanced age. As many as 17-31% of the total population have experienced NPB in their lifetime. Low back pain is pain that is felt between the corners of the lowest ribs and the lower buttock fold. Based on the 2010 Global Burden of Disease study, NPB is the largest contributor to global disability, the main cause of disability in young adults which causes > 100 million working days lost each year. Thus NPB causes a decrease in work productivity and is associated with a large economic burden. Risk factors for lower back pain include demographic factors, this is due to age, gender, socio-economic status and education level. The second is due to work factors, namely physical activity of bending, lifting, twisting, and monotonous work. The third is health factors such as obesity and smoking. The four psychological factors are depression, as well as spinal anatomical factors.
Sources of pain from NPB include the spine and related structures, nerves, blood vessels, internal organs, psychogenic. A practical classification system for NPB can be divided into nonspecific low back pain, low back pain due to neurological disorders (stenosis & radiculopathy), and more serious low back pain (red flags).

Prevention of lower back pain is to avoid excessive body weight, then avoid lifting weights in the wrong position, improve ergonomic sitting position, then avoid maintaining certain positions for a long time, adequate rest is very necessary, exercise regularly.
The initial treatment when a patient has lower back pain is first an ice compress/warm compress. The second is regular exercise to avoid lower back pain. The third is getting enough rest because with enough rest the body will relax so that back pain will be avoided. The fourth is taking medication for lower back pain.
Be alert if NPB does not improve, and red flags are found, namely signs that can increase our suspicion of the possibility of a more serious pathological condition. Namely, there is a history of neoplasm/malignancy, history or signs of infection (long cough), history of trauma, bowel/bowel disorders or erectile dysfunction, severe neurological deficit, radicular syndrome, and finally age over 50 years due to steroid drug abuse or under 20 years (violent trauma). Make a visit to a neurologist if your lower back pain doesn't go away, so that the pain can be resolved quickly and prevent chronic and recurring pain.
