Lumbago is another term for low Back pain. It was in much more popular use in the United States before the 1930s, and remains much more popular in English speaking countries outside the U.S. today.

It is said that there are at least 250 causes of back pain, most of which will fall into the broad categories of mechanical, structural, chemical, hormonal, referred, pathologic, arthritic, iatrogenic, psychological and infectious low back pain - or lumbago. As such, there are many and diverse causes of lumbago and this explains the complexity and difficulty of treating this particular complaint.

A favorite answer of mine is that the one basic and most essential cause of all back pain is the fact that man (or woman) is structurally in many ways a quadruped (walking on four extremities) who is walking around as a biped (two extremities), and this causes many low back pain conditions.
