Mechanical Lower Back Pain: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment at Dr. Hamza Physio
Overview
Mechanical lower back pain is one of the most common causes of back discomfort, affecting individuals of all ages. It is primarily caused by issues related to the muscles, ligaments, joints, or discs in the lower back, rather than an underlying medical condition. Poor posture, repetitive movements, heavy lifting, and prolonged sitting can contribute to mechanical lower back pain, leading to stiffness, pain, and restricted mobility.
At Dr. Hamza Physio, located in the AIH Building, G-8 Markaz, Islamabad, we specialize in diagnosing and treating mechanical lower back pain through personalized physiotherapy plans designed to relieve pain, restore function, and prevent recurrence.
