10 Causes of Lower Back Pain
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Cause #8: Spinal Stenosis
Spinal stenosis is a condition that occurs when the spinal canal, the area where the spinal nerves leave the spine, shrinks. As this area narrows, more pressure is placed on the nerves, which can contribute to lower back pain.
This condition is more common among older people. People who are prone to inflammation are also more at risk because the spinal canal shrinks and narrows as their bones and joints swell.
