Low Back pain is a very common injury related to auto accidents. Like the neck, or cervical spine, low back pain can come from: sprain/strain injuries of the muscles and ligaments supporting your back, facet joints, arthritis of the joints in your spine, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, spinal stenosis, herniated/bulging or "slipped" discs, sacroiliac joints, pain in the hips, bursitis. Low back pain can cause pain and/or numbess/tingling in other areas of your back, hips, groin, thighs, calves and even feet and toes. This is called referred pain (generally goes to the knees) or radiating pain (generally goes past the knees) if spinal nerves are involved. A common cause of radiating symptoms is from herniated or bulging discs. This is also known as Sciatica or has often been called "slipped discs".
Herniation of the discs occurs when the interior material of the disc is squeezed into the spinal canal, causing pressure against the nerves. Severe pain, a tingling sensation, numbness, or weakness may result. Herniated discs can be the result of a number of small injuries or of a single trauma. Bulging discs can be the result of wear on the annulus. As the annulus weakens the disc begins to lose its shape and can press on the nerve causing pain.

When this occurs, there are several treatment approaches available. Herniated discs have often been treated with Surgery, Epidural Injections, Medications, Chiropractic, Physical Therapy or Massage, each with varying degrees of success.
