The low back pain market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC's new report titled "Low Back Pain Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034". Low back pain refers to discomfort or pain in the area of the back between the bottom rib and the buttocks, known as the lumbar region. It can be acute, lasting for a short period, or chronic, persisting for several weeks or longer. Some of the common symptoms include dull or aching pain in the lower back, sharp shooting pain that radiates down the legs, muscle spasms and tightness, reduced range of motion in the lower back, difficulty maintaining proper posture, pain worsened by bending or lifting, and in many cases, tingling, numbness, or weakness in the legs or feet. Diagnosing low back pain typically involves a combination of medical history evaluation, physical examination, and laboratory investigations. A physical exam may include assessing posture, range of motion, and muscle strength as well as performing specific maneuvers to elicit pain or identify potential sources of discomfort. Various diagnostic tests, such as X-rays, MRI scans, CT scans, etc., are performed to visualize the structures of the spine and rule out underlying conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, fractures, etc. In some cases, numerous additional procedures, including blood tests and electromyography (EMG), may be recommended to assess nerve function or detect systemic diseases.

The increasing cases of strain or sprain in the muscles or ligaments of the back due to improper lifting, sudden movements, overexertion, poor posture, etc., are primarily driving the low back pain market. Furthermore, the rising prevalence of sciatica, often caused by spinal stenosis or a herniated disc, resulting in irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, is creating a positive outlook for the market. Apart from this, the escalating utilization of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen to alleviate pain and decrease inflammation associated with low back pain is also bolstering the market growth. Moreover, the widespread adoption of physical therapy, which involves a combination of exercises, stretching, and manual interventions to improve strength, flexibility, and posture, thereby reducing pain as well as promoting healing, is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. In addition to this, the emerging popularity of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) therapy that works by stimulating nerves and blocking pain signals from reaching the brain is expected to drive the low back pain market during the forecast period.
