Back Pain

Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain, often accompanied by leg pain, that worsens when standing or walking for long periods. This low back pain may be caused by a small stress fracture in the back of the spine called isthmic spondylolisthesis. It could also be caused by lumbar spinal stenosis and/or degenerative spondylolisthesis. Another possibility for low or mid-back pain is from pinched nerves.
