Back pain Issue
Hello,
I am looking to consult for my father in law who's 64y old and feeling mild pain in the lower back every time and after hectic work like climbing stairs alone carrying a child, it pains more with radiating pain in the left leg alone. No issues while walking or any other activities. This is happening since 6 months but it has increased recently.
Can someone suggest what would be the next step for diagnose the issue and remedy?

It seems he might have mechanical back pain ,he must go to a orthopedic doctor for referral, after xray or mri if the diagnosis may be either lumber spondalytis, mild disc prolaps or spondylolysthesis etc then he may go for the conventional medical treatment with physiotherapy management ..
Next Steps
I hope with few sittings of physiotherapy he may recover ..

Hi, Back pain without leg pain usually resolves with Physio - IFT. Once pain in controlled do back strengthening exercises. Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration because dehydrated disc is more prone to injury. If he got leg pain - get MRI scan of lumbosacral spine. consult ortho doctor.
