Chronic Back Pain
Chronic Lumbago

Chronic Lumbago is mild to severe pain or discomfort in the area of the lower back that has lasted for more than 3 months. It is common among younger people who engage in hard physical work and also among people of retirement age.

Symptoms include:
- Mild to severe pain across the lower part of the back, which sometimes travels into the buttocks.
- A stiff neck, due to muscle spasm.
- Difficulty in bending forward and leaning back.
- A possible change in posture due to the severe pain and spasms.
- A tingling sensation or a feeling of numbness in the back, buttocks or down along one or both legs.
What causes it?

Identifying the exact cause of lumbago is very difficult. It can be caused by a variety of conditions such as a slipped disc, scoliosis, osteoporosis or, more rarely, by tumours or infection in the spinal area. It is usually only possible to pinpoint the exact cause of lumbago in about 30% of cases. The majority of those where another cause is not found are believed to be due to muscle sprain.
General Degenerative Conditions
Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain is the most common form of all chronic pain. Many things can cause this pain — muscle strain or spasm, sprains of ligaments (which attach bone to bone), joint problems or a disc injury. The most common cause is using your back muscles in activities you are not used to, such as heavy lifting or doing maunal work. Unexpected events such as taking a fall or a car accident can also cause low back pain.
Short Term Back Pain
Most sudden attacks of acute back pain are the result of overstretched muscles (strains) or ligaments (sprains). The pain may be most severe immediately after injury, or it may worsen gradually over a few hours. In most instances, back pain as a result of strain or sprain can be resolved following a conservative course of treatment—usually within two to six weeks—provided there are no serious underlying medical conditions. Identifying the cause of the pain, alleviating the pain— either at home or with your physician's help—and avoiding re-injury are key to the healing process.

Muscle Rehabilitation Explained
Lower back pain can be very limiting, making even simple tasks or movements difficult. Limited function can cause your lower back and abdominal muscles to be underused and to weaken. Weakened muscles can decrease your core stability, create problems in performing certain tasks, or worsen the risk of recurring pain. Strengthening these muscles is an important step in your rehabilitation. Neurotech Recovery – Back uses gentle electrical stimulation to activate and strengthen your lower back and abdominal muscles, helping you to move from pain management to recovery following a pain episode, surgery or injury to the lower back.
