Lower back pain affects about 28% of adults in the U.S., and it’s the single leading cause of disability worldwide. Symptoms can vary in intensity — causing muscle spasms or weakness — and may occur in one small area or throughout the entire lower back. Most low back pain gets better in about a week or two with rest and home remedies. But if your pain is lingering or getting worse, it's time to see a specialist.
