Why does lower back pain always strike right at the beltline? 🤔
If you are dealing with persistent lower back ache or radiating leg pain in Bangalore, you aren't alone. As a consultant spine surgeon, I see daily that the vast majority of spine-related back pain comes down to just two anatomical trouble spots: L4-L5 and L5-S1.
Because these lower lumbar discs handle the maximum body weight and movement, wear-and-tear or disc bulges here frequently pinch surrounding nerves—triggering localized pain and sciatica.
Quick Answer: L4-L5 and L5-S1 disc herniations are the most common mechanical causes of lower back pain because these segments endure the highest biomechanical stress and spinal load during daily activities.
