The most obvious reason for the occurrence of pain in the lower back — it's lumbago and sciatica that is caused by lesions in the lumbar spine, osteochondrosis, as well as more serious pathologies in the spine — protrusions or intervertebral herniarum. These pains can occur when irritation of the nerves of the spinal pillar, the interference of the nerve roots, in the irritation of the ligaments and muscles, edema, and also in diseases of the internal organs, the pain can irradiate in the lower back.
