What is Lower Back Pain?

As its name implies, lower back pain refers to the presence of pain in the lower part of the spine (also called the lumbar region).

This type of pain can be either acute (i.e., lasting for less than six months) or chronic (i.e., recurrent and/or lasting for longer than six months). It is also very common. In fact, more than 25% of people living in the U.S. Struggle with lower back pain that negatively impacts their ability to work. Perhaps you’re one of the 40 million Americans who suffer from this type of pain.

Low Back Pain Symptoms

Low back pain symptoms can include: dull pain in the area of the lower back, shooting pain that radiates from the lower back through the backs of the thighs and sometimes down the legs (this is called sciatica), and spasming of the muscles found in the hips, pelvis, and lower back.

Some people  find that they have more intense lower back pain after they’ve sat or stood for a long period of time. Others find it difficult to walk, stand up fully straight, or move from standing to sitting.

Causes of Lower Back Pain

What are the causes of low back pain? To answer this question, it is important to assess whether the pain is primary or secondary in order to determine the cause.

The physical sensation of Primary and Secondary lower back pain is the same, but the causes driving the pain are very different: Primary Pain is caused by sensitization of the nervous system, while Secondary Pain is largely driven by a structural injury or condition.

How can you determine whether your lower back pain is primary, secondary, or a combination of the two? Sign up for Lin and get paired with a pain specialist trained to differentiate between these two types of causes.

This is why we do what we do

Lin Health has given me my life back. I struggled with daily chronic treatment resistant migraines and POTS for 8 years. My life was significantly affected as well as my husband's and children's. I started Lin Health and their pain repressing treatment in Jan/Feb and by April I was migraine free and also free from any POTS symptoms. I no longer take any medications for anything. My coach was the perfect match for me, always supporting me and meeting me where I was at.

The concept is solid, and the research is hard to dispute. Believing in the research is the most critical step. My pain has generally improved over 4 months from utterly debilitating to 60-80% better on most days. But it takes unavoidable work to chase your demons and recognize patterns that contribute. The Lin program makes it so easy. The most valuable part is my coach, who really cares and really helps. It is a journey, and we have to grow up and realize real improvement is a journey, and not a quick pill!

The access to the care kits and my coach. What I have learned regarding pain and the brains role in it all has been remarkable. I’ve learned through the kits and my coach that a bunch of my pain has been primary brain pain. It’s has given me hope when I was starting to feel really hopeless with it effecting so much of my life. I feel like I am getting my life back again. I would recommend this program to anyone that deals with pain.

My experience with Lin Health has been amazing. I truly have nothing to say for changes or improvements. The information and tools acquired through Lin Health has changed my life, and in more ways than just pain management/resolution. I have and will continue to recommend Lin Health for anyone who is looking to receive help with pain relief. But I honestly think the tools given here can impact people with other debilitating issues such as anxiety, depression, etc.

Fibromyalgia had overtaken my life. Having tried numerous things over the past 5 years and only getting worse, I was skeptical and nervous from the start. Upon meeting Lauren, my skepticism and nervousness dissipated. Lauren’s genuine sincerity and calming presence enabled me to trust and learn the process. I am more active, much happier, and off pain meds. I am able to live my life again! I gladly recommend Lauren and Lin Health to others.

Amazing program for chronic pain. They pull all the different modalities together to treat chronic pain, and the care kits in the app are simply amazing! Thorough, logical, professional, and excellently presented. My pain recovery coach is wonderful and his program is worth every penny!

I’ve tried other apps/books/programs to work on mind-body pain, but I think Lin may be the best. The program is well thought-out, with nuances for using the tools effectiveIy I haven’t seen before, as well as techniques that were new to me. And while the program is detailed, the instructions contain ideas and exercises that are practical and not as theoretical as others I’ve seen. And the coaching has been insightful and invaluable in ensuring I’m moving in the right direction.

Lin has made a HUGE and dramatic impact on my life. I went from being in chronic, severe pain to almost no pain. We’ve been able to learn a lot of root causes for why the pain flares as well, and it’s helped me significantly. I’m incredibly grateful for my coach especially. I most definitely would not have made such fast progress if it wasn’t for her helping me see things I would’ve missed on my own. I’ve been recommending it to a lot of my friends/family who are in pain and they are in awe of what a transformation I’ve had from it.

Injured in 2013; I suffered chronic back pain for a decade. The Lin Health approach surpasses other treatments I've tried to relieve pain. Lin Health has changed my relationship with pain so that I'm more mobile and healthy. Totally endorsed.

I signed up for Lin for a month. I was really skeptical but I’ve spent ore on stuff that hasn’t worked for my fibromyalgia. Not a day went by that I didn’t have at least a constant pain around a 3/10 on a good day with it going up to 6-7/10. Bad days would start at a 6-7. Fatigue would keep me in bed or dependent on caffeine. I have only scratched the surface of what Lin has to offer and last week, I spent 3 days walking around NYC, playing tour guide for my family. I was clocking at least 12k steps a day! I’m tired but happy I was able to be present with my family and not retreating to the hotel many times a day to try to get over the pain. I can’t wait to see what happens next. (Most of the time, my pain was from 0/10 to max 2/10)

I am grateful for Lin Health and all I have learned from one on one coaching and the tools provided in the app. My pain went from a 9-10 to a 1-2 in about 6 months. The tools have been life-changing and the new mindset is a growing work in progress. Give it a try, I can't say enough positive things about this experience.

Lin Health teaches those at their most vulnerable point how powerful they really are. Your brain is a powerful organ...it can make you feel sick, and it can make you feel well. Lin guides you back to a healthier "you." Everyone in that company is interested in you feeling better and doing better at all costs.

First, it educates you on the new mind/body teachings. Then they provide exercises for those teachings to become your new habits. Everyone associated with the group is so nice and supportive.

I've been with Lin Health for a year now, and what a difference the program has made in my life! My coach is a wealth of knowledge and compassion and encouragement. (Isn't "encouragement" a cool word?) I have learned to cultivate a sense of safety, no matter what the body is up to. It's a very profound journey.

After only 2 weeks I’m already feeling a lot better. The personalized attention, along with Telehealth, allows me to incorporate this treatment into my busy life. It is great that it is grounded in accessible, under stable science. An innovation we needed in post covid!

Lin has been a game changer. I wasn't able to run for years due to a lingering knee injury I sustained back in high school. Lin gave me the confidence to say that my knee is healthy and my pain is neuroplastic.

My mindset is shifting and more automatic to think thoughts of safety and comfort and reduce panic. I have reduced my medication by over half and as a result of reduced meds and calm, I have also reduced my reliance on Tums to nearly zero.
