What is the cause of lower back pain and calf soreness

Some people feel particular pain in the waist and soreness in the calves. In this case, it should be considered that lumbar disc herniation is caused by the lumbar disc compressing the blood vessels in the lower limbs, causing soreness in the limbs. In our daily life, we should pay attention to proper physical exercise, which can relieve the various symptoms of lumbar disc herniation, but avoid strenuous exercise to avoid worsening of the disease. So, what causes lower back pain and calf soreness?

1. What causes back and leg pain?

If you have back pain and leg pain, you should first consider whether it is a herniated lumbar disc:

Lumbar disc herniation is one of the more common diseases. It is mainly caused by different degrees of degenerative changes in various parts of the lumbar disc, especially the nucleus pulposus. Under the influence of external factors, the fibrous ring of the intervertebral disc ruptures, and the nucleus pulposus tissue protrudes from the rupture to the back or into the spinal canal, causing adjacent spinal nerve roots to be stimulated or compressed, resulting in a series of clinical symptoms such as low back pain, numbness and pain in one or both lower limbs.

2. How to avoid back and leg pain?

1. Avoid overwork and correct bad posture. You must not sit or stand for long periods of time, which is very helpful for relieving pain in your waist and legs.

2. Appropriate functional exercise. Strengthen exercises of the waist and back muscles to prevent muscle tension disorders, such as lying prone without a pillow, then straightening your chest and head, and stretching your hands and feet into the air; you can also lie on your back in bed without a pillow, push your head back against the bed, and lift your shoulders.

3. In addition, we can achieve the purpose of treatment through physical therapy, massage, and other therapies that relax muscles and promote blood circulation.

4. Physical therapy. Under the guidance of a doctor, choosing appropriate physical therapy can also enhance the treatment effect. There are currently many physical therapy methods, including electromagnetic, ultrasonic, infrared, laser, etc., which act on the human body through sound, light, electricity, heat, etc. to play a role in relaxing muscles and activating blood circulation.
