Lower back pain, a condition treated by Dr. Rahul D Chaudhari. 80% of the population will experience lower back pain. One in seven new patient visits to a doctor is related to lower back pain. It is second only to the flu as being responsible for absence from work.
To better understand back pain, we must understand the difference between actual lower back pain and leg pain (lower extremity pain). Lower back pain is generally considered to be pain which stays in the low back while leg or lower extremity pain is pain which travels down the buttock, thigh, and leg.
Pain down the leg, also referred to as sciatica or radiculopathy, is generally caused by compression upon the nerve usually as it courses through the spinal canal or as it leaves the spine. This pressure may be caused by a ruptured or herniated disc, or by thickened ligament known as spinal stenosis, or by bone spurs known as osteophytes. When one vertebral body slips upon another, a condition known as spondylolisthesis, the nerve roots leaving the spine may be compressed by the slipped bone. If you have any of these conditions or symptoms, please contact Dr. Rahul D Chaudhari.
