Pain in the lumbar (lower back) and cervical (neck) regions of the spine is a common issue and often leads to significant work absences. The primary causes of lower back pain are typically strains and sprains in the lumbar muscles. While spinal pain can also occur in the thoracic spine, it is less frequent due to its greater rigidity.

Symptoms:

• Pain and/or numbness extending from the neck or lower back into the extremities
• Stiffness in the upper or lower back, limiting range of motion
• Difficulty maintaining normal posture due to stiffness and/or pain
• Muscle spasms during activity or at rest
• Back or neck pain persisting for a maximum of 10-14 days
• Noticeable loss of muscle motor power, bladder, or bowel function
  
  

Spinal Trauma and Fractures: In cases of spinal trauma and fractures, it is essential to address the issue promptly.
