Common causes of lower back pain and discomfort:
Lower Back Muscle Strain or Sprain
Overexertion of lower back muscles, lifting heavy objects, or sudden awkward movements. Causes localised pain, stiffness, and sometimes muscle spasms. Learn more about lower back strain treatment.
Herniated Disc (Bulging or Ruptured Disc)
The soft inner portion of a spinal disc pushes through the outer layer, due to trauma, repetitive strains, lifting heavy objects, or poor posture. Causes extreme pain, including pain radiating down the leg (sciatica), numbness, tingling, or weakness.
Sciatica
Pain that originates in the lower back and travels down the sciatic nerve. Usually associated with compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, commonly caused by lumbar disc pathology or muscle tension.
Degenerative Disc Disease
Wear and tear on lower spinal discs over time. Causes chronic lower back pain, stiffness, and reduced flexibility. Often due to ageing and repetitive use.
Muscle Spasms
Involuntary muscle contractions in the lower back, often due to strain or injury. Cause sudden and intense pain and muscle tightness.
When Lower Back Pain Needs Urgent Care
Most lower back pain can be safely assessed and managed by our GP team. However, please seek medical attention promptly – or visit an Emergency Department – if you experience:
- Sudden severe lower back pain after a fall, motor vehicle accident, or significant trauma
- Lower back pain accompanied by loss of bowel or bladder control (cauda equina syndrome warning sign)
- Severe lower back pain with fever, which may indicate infection of the spine or disc
- Progressive neurological symptoms such as increasing weakness, numbness in the legs or groin, or loss of sensation
- Lower back pain with unexplained weight loss or night pain that does not improve with rest
In the above instances, it would be highly recommended by doctors to rule out serious spinal conditions such as cauda equina syndrome, spinal infection, fracture, or malignancy through appropriate imaging and specialist assessment. Early identification and treatment of serious lower back conditions is essential to prevent permanent neurological damage.
Lower Back Pain Treatment and Pain Relief
Painkillers, injections, and surgery shouldn't be the only options for lower back pain relief. At Regis Medical, our doctors, acupuncturists, and physiotherapists work together – under one roof, at both our Holland Village and Katong clinics – to find and treat the root cause of your lower back pain.
GP Doctor Assessment
An evidence-based approach to diagnose, assess, and find the root cause of your lower back pain or back injury. By considering your medical history, lifestyle, and any contributing factors, so that we can tailor a personalised treatment plan to meet your unique needs.
Regular Progress Reviews and Post-Recovery Follow-Up
Regis Medical doctors will actively review your recovery progress in periodic fashion and help arrange for scans if necessary.
Acupuncture for Lower Back Pain
Available in-house at both Holland Village and Katong.
Acupuncture and electro-acupuncture may help relieve lower back pain, ease muscle tension, and support the body's natural healing process – a minimally invasive, non-surgical option for pain management. Cupping therapy may also be used alongside acupuncture to improve circulation and release muscle tension in the lower back. Not every patient is suitable for acupuncture; our doctors will assess this with you first.
Physiotherapy for Lower Back Pain
Available in-house at both Holland Village and Katong.
Physiotherapy for lower back pain may include:
- Ultrasound Therapy – stimulates healing in lower back structures, promoting tissue repair and effective management of lower back pain and injuries
- Exercise Prescriptions – prescribed exercises and stretching programmes enhance core strength, flexibility, and mobility, providing pain relief and supporting the healing process of lower back injuries
- Electrotherapy – modalities like transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) alleviate lower back pain by altering pain signals and promoting the release of endorphins
- Deep Tissue Massage – targets deeper muscle layers and connective tissue in the lower back, relieving chronic pain, reducing muscle tension, and improving blood flow to aid in injury recovery
- Posture and Body Mechanics Education – education on proper posture, lifting techniques, and body mechanics minimises strain on the lower spine, including recommendations for sitting, standing, and lifting to prevent lower back pain and injuries
- Sports Physio for Lower Back Pain – tailored programmes for lower back pain occurring during sports activities such as running, weightlifting, swimming, and golf, designed to relieve pain, target the unique stresses these sports place on the lower back, and reduce the risk of recurring injury
