Common Symptoms of Low Back Pain

Back pain can present in different ways. You may notice:

Difficulty walking, sitting or standing for long periods
Pain radiating into the buttock, groin or down the leg (sciatica)
Pins and needles, numbness or weakness in the legs or feet
Dull aching at rest or sharper pain with movement
Muscle spasms or tightness across the lower back
Tenderness or sensitivity to touch
Morning stiffness that eases with movement

What Causes Low Back Pain?

Common causes of back pain we see at our Bromley clinic include:

Poor posture from desk work or driving
Lifting or bending awkwardly
Twisting the spine under load (e.g. at the gym or playing sport)
Overstretching or muscle overuse
Stress and tension building in the back muscles
Weak core or deconditioned support muscles
Age-related changes such as joint wear or arthritis

Do You Need a Scan for Back Pain?

Many people attending our Bromley back pain clinic are concerned they may need a scan.. Most cases of back pain do not require scans such as MRI or X-ray. Research shows imaging often reveals changes that aren’t linked to pain. If your symptoms suggest nerve compression — for example, sciatica, numbness, or significant weakness — we may recommend further investigation or refer you for imaging.
