Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most widely recognized conditions that debilitate people's functional capacity in activities of daily living and at work, as well as their general wellbeing and quality of life. Pain between the buttock and lower edge of the ribs is referred to as low back pain, and it can be classified as acute, sub-acute, or chronic depending on how long it lasts. Acute pain lasts less than four weeks, sub-acute pain lasts more than four but less than twelve weeks and if pain lasts for more than 12 weeks it is chronic LBP. The prevalence of chronic low back pain is steadily rising in today's aging population. Around 80% of the population experience spinal pain sooner or later in life.. The intervertebral disc absorbs physical shock to the backbone; it is composed of two dissimilar tissue layers, an inner layer called the nucleus pulposus and an external layer called the annulus fibrosis. Muscle spasm refers to sustained contraction of a muscle and the increase in chronic tension contributes to pain.
