Medical / Back pain
English term or phrase: lower back disability
"Lower back pain and disability does not progressively increase with age, nor does it correspond to the age-related changes of disc degeneration".
¿Alguien me puede decir si la solución que se me ha ocurrido para "lower back pain and disability" existe o es un disparate?

lumbago / ciática


Explanation:
pero no creo que se pueda aplicar "inhabilitante". En todo caso usaría "discapacidad" (producida por el lumbago o la ciática).
Espero que estos links te sirvan como referencia...
Suerte!

Explanation:
Lumbago is a kind of rheumatism, and it is by no means the only cause of lower back pain.

neutral  Elena Sgarbo (X): Lumbago is not a kind of rheumatism; the word "lumbago" is a variation of "lumbalgia", and both mean "dolor lumbar".

  -> Ah, those cognates. In English it does mean muscular rheumatism in the lumbar region. My bad.

lower back disability: incapacidad fisica de la region lumbar


Explanation:
lumbalgia: precisa, si tomamos en cuenta la etimologia, que se trata de dolor lumbar.
Disability: es la incapacidad fisica, la discapacidad, aunque puede ser tambien la invalidez.
El texto habla que, secundario a la degeneracion de los discos intervertebrales, se produce dolor en la region lumbar, que llega a ser discapacitante, incluso invalidante (depende del dolor que puede ser muy intenso)
