A persistent ache in the lumbar region that lingers throughout the day, often worsening when sitting or standing still.
2
Sharp, Sudden Pain When Bending or Lifting
Acute jolts of pain triggered by twisting, reaching, bending down, or carrying heavy objects.
3
Spinal Stiffness & Reduced Flexibility
Difficulty standing up straight after sitting, or experiencing tightness in the spine upon waking up in the morning.
4
Muscle Spasms & Tightness
Involuntary contractions or hard, painful knots in the muscles surrounding the spine and hips.
