Pain in the lower region of the back, usually
due to strain or faulty posture. If it occurs
with sciatica, it may be due to pressure on
spinal nerves by a displaced vertebra.
Treatment includes rest, application of heat,
and skilled manipulation (see chiropractic
and osteopathy). Surgery may be needed in
rare cases.
