In most cases, symptoms are attributed to poor muscle tone in the back, muscle tension or spasm, back sprains, torn muscles or ligaments, or joint problems. Sometimes the nerves of the spine are irritated because of an intervertebral disc “deviant” and this causes pain in the buttock or leg. It can also cause tingling, numbness (tingling) or weakness in the legs.
People who have poor physical condition and work in areas requiring heavy physical exertion, or spend extended periods of time sitting or standing, are more likely to suffer from lower back problems. Emotional stress or long periods of inactivity cause the back problems seem worse.
Even the least damage of any component of the structure of the back may affect the delicate balance of the column and make any motion painful.
The back pain may occur without apparent reason and in any part of it (though usually placed in the lower back). Any type of physical imbalance (including psychological, caused by stress) can cause excessive fatigue in the complex motor system of the spine. For example, the excess of fatigue in muscles or joints can result in overuse of these structures and that can cause pain.
