Nonspecific Back Pain
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Nonspecific back pain is a discomfort in the back region, most frequently in the lower area, for which no specific structural cause is identified. It is one of the most common reasons for a visit and usually improves over time.
Possible factors: poor posture, exertion or loads, a sedentary lifestyle, muscle tension, and stress can contribute to its appearance.
When to pay more attention? If the pain is very severe, does not let up, or is accompanied by tingling, weakness in the legs, or radiates, an evaluation is worthwhile.
Professionals who provide guidance: the general practitioner or the orthopedist can perform a first evaluation, and the physical therapist supports the recovery. When back pain persists or limits your activities, the recommended course is to consult a professional who can review your situation.
