Because of the anatomic structure of the body, loading is imposed mostly between L4-L5 and L5-S1. This pressure causes degenerative (irreversible) changes.
Once degenerative changes appear, improvement is hard.
It is related to lifting heavy objects or direct trauma. Pain starts in the lower back together with trauma. In the beginning pain is not heavy. Instead, there is hardness dependent on muscular spasm. Patient may think that discomfort will pass, so he/she may continue to regular work. Pain increases more and more. It leaves the patient motionless. Very intense pain starts even with the smallest movements.

Acupuncture is extensively used in the whole world as a treatment method for whole lower back and neck pains. Treatment is applied for 10-14 sessions for each other day or 20-30 minutes for every day. Later on, treatments are continued once a week, and later once a month, and then once in 3 months. If there is response to pain at the end of 4-5 sessions, it means treatment is going very well. Sometimes there may be persistent cases in which acupuncture should continue once a year. Success rate depends on the case; however, there are positive results with 60-80% rate.
