Lower back pain disability can result from any number of reasons. An accident can cause chronic lower back pain, as can many types of diseases and disorders. When you experience severe lower back pain and it impairs your ability to perform substantial gainful activity you may qualify for Social Security disability benefits. An experienced South Florida disability attorney can help evaluate your case and file for your benefits.
Causes of Lower Back Pain Disability
Your spinal cord is a fragile part of your nervous system that is easily damaged. Impact injury to your lower spine can cause aggravation or damage of the nerves that affect your lower back. Even with surgery to repair conditions such as a slipped disc, you may experience continued pain and mobility issues.
Some common reasons for lower back pain disability include:
These conditions can occur due to many factors. Many victims of car accidents or slip and fall injuries often see chronic back pain as an end result from their injuries. Medical conditions such as spinal disc degeneration, osteoporosis, and arthritis are also common causes of lower back pain disability.
Lower back pain can also be caused by internal disorders such as kidney diseases, ovarian disorders, appendicitis, and aneurysms. Pregnancy, obesity, lack of exercise, and age all play a role in lower back pain, although in most cases would not qualify you for Social Security disability benefits. A South Florida disability lawyer can best explain what conditions do apply.
Qualifying Lower Back Pain Disability for Benefits
For your lower back pain disability to qualify you for Social Security disability benefits you must be able to prove the condition and the extent to which it disables you. A medical evaluation and diagnosis of your chronic lower back pain is necessary to provide evidence that you suffer from a disabling condition.
In many cases, no known cause is able to be found by a doctor, but the pain is still present regardless of the lack of a named condition. In cases such as these, a South Florida disability lawyer will be your best asset in fighting for your benefits.
Once your condition has been verified by a doctor, you will need to show that it has lasted or is expected to last at least 12 months. The pain you experience must also be severe enough that it impairs your ability to perform substantial gainful activity. Providing proof of all of these requirements is more easily accomplished with the help of a South Florida disability lawyer.
