Swimming is one of the best exercises that won't hurt your lower back due to its low-impact nature and full-body engagement.

Gentle exercises like walking and water aerobics are effective.

Physical therapy is the most widely used therapy for lower back pain.

Duration varies but typically ranges from a few weeks to several months.

Gentle exercises include pelvic tilts, bridges, and cat-cow stretches.

The single best exercise for spinal stenosis is the pelvic tilt, which helps to relieve pressure on the spine and strengthen the core.

Pain in the deep buttocks and lower back may indicate sciatica or piriformis syndrome, often caused by nerve compression.

It is often better to alternate between sitting and lying down with lower back pain to avoid prolonged pressure on one area.

The fastest way to strengthen your lower back is through a combination of core exercises like planks, bridges, and back extensions.

To tell if lower back pain is muscle or disc, muscle pain is usually localized and improves with rest, while disc pain often radiates and worsens with movement.
