Expert lumbar spine treatment for lower back pain, disc bulge, sciatica and spinal stenosis using medication, physiotherapy and surgery.
What Is Lumbar Spine Disorder?
The lumbar spine is the lower part of the spine located in the lower back. Lumbar spine disorders occur due to disc degeneration, nerve compression, injury, poor posture, or age-related wear and tear. These conditions commonly lead to lower back pain and pain radiating to the legs (sciatica).
Causes & Risk Factors
Common causes of lower back pain and lumbar spine degeneration
Poor Posture

Heavy Lifting

Obesity
Excess weight increases pressure on the spine.
Sedentary Lifestyle
Weak core muscles reduce spinal support.
Aging
Natural disc degeneration occurs over time.
