Because all nerves extend from the spinal cord, back pain may also cause symptoms that you don’t naturally associate with your back, including: 

•  Numbness or tingling in extremities
•  Shooting pain in the buttocks, hips, or legs
•  Burning sensation in the buttocks, hips, or legs
•  Headaches or migraines 

Some causes of back pain could include, lumbar spinal stenosis, sacroiliitis, bone fracture or ligament tears, spinal deformities, herniated disc(s) and arthritis.

Most back pain — even severe back pain — can be treated without surgery. Surgery can be considered if other treatments are not effective.

There are several non-surgical treatment options to help treat chronic low back pain, including spinal injections, nerve blocks, joint injections, radiofrequency ablation, and spinal cord stimulation.
