Low Back Pain Explained | Dr. Somashekar D | Manipal Hospital Jayanagar
In this video, Dr. Somashekar D, Consultant - Spine Surgery at Manipal Hospital Jayanagar, discusses low back pain, its causes, and treatment options. Back pain may arise from poor posture, muscle spasms, disc problems, ageing, fractures, infections, or osteoporosis. So, if it’s posture-related, you can manage it by maintaining proper body alignment, while spasm-induced pain usually settles within 3–5 days with conservative care. Disc-related pain is best managed with physiotherapy, medications, healthy habits, and exercises. Only about 5% of cases require surgery, typically when symptoms include leg weakness or urinary and bowel issues. Most patients benefit from conservative treatments, making surgery a rare necessity.
