• The pain in the back is one of the symptoms of
  these spinal conditions, which include herniated
  disc, prolapsed disc, ruptured disc, disc
  protrusion, extrusion, and bulging disc.
• These degenerative disc diseases can cause lower

• Sometimes everyday activities and even sports

  symptoms in these situations too, according to
  the best ortho surgeon in Mumbai, Dr. Chirag
  Patel.
• Underlying Medical Conditions

• Lousy Sleeping Positions
• As mentioned earlier, bad sleeping positions
  are the primary cause of lower back pain in most
  cases, says orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Chirag
  Patel.
• Lousy sleeping positions can put extra pressure
  on the lumbar spine by throwing the spine curve
  out of alignment.
• This misalignment can strain the lower back,
  leading to lower back pain, and sometimes
  compress the nerves in the spine, which may even
  cause numbness and pain in the legs and feet.
