Features: Patients often ask doctors various questions and hope for detailed answers, but due to time constraints, doctors cannot explain everything one by one. "The Family Doctor Series" addresses the concerns of patients and their families, helping them understand diseases correctly, cooperate with doctors in treatment, and recover as soon as possible. Some of the doctor's advice and recommendations are also of practical help for people in preventing and maintaining health. Low back and leg pain is a common and prevalent condition in modern society. Due to its significant impact on daily work and life, it has gradually drawn people's attention. There are many causes of low back and leg pain, among which pain caused by poor posture is particularly common. Whether it is general jobs like healthcare workers, office employees, or housewives, or those engaged in strenuous activities such as athletes and heavy laborers, anyone who maintains a fixed posture for a long time or pays little attention to body posture is prone to this condition. Although this disease is not frightening, it still brings pain to people, directly affecting daily work, study, and life. In severe cases, it may even lead to lower limb paralysis. Therefore, we cannot take it lightly and must actively treat and prevent it. This book describes the anatomy of the lumbar spine and the classification of diseases in an easy-to-understand language, while also providing introductions on the causes, nature, symptoms, treatment, and prevention of different conditions. Our goal in writing this book is to provide the general public with a practical popular science reading material that helps in popularizing basic medical knowledge and improving people's quality of life.
