Back pain is more common in the lower back region. Backache can be felt anywhere along your spine, from your neck to hips. Correct back pain treatment is essential to relieve your back pain symptoms. Backache can range from a muscle aching to shooting, stabbing, or burning sensation.

  • Pain in the leg or foot that radiates.
  • Pain only on one side of the buttock or leg.
  • Tingling or numbness in the lower body or limbs.
