Background: Low back pain is a complicated illness that is influenced by a variety of circumstances, making it difficult to pinpoint a single cause or even a major contributor. The yearly first-time incidence of low back pain is 5% and the annual prevalence ranges from 15 to 63 percent (those suffering at the time of diagnosis).
Objective: The study's goal is to find out how common low back pain is among preprimary and primary school teachers by analyzing questionnaire responses. Methods: A suitable sample approach was used to conduct a questionnaire-based cross-sectional study on 200 school instructors in diverse schools (Mother's pet kindergarten, mundle English medium, kinder joy, etc).
Results: The results revealed that preprimary and primary school teachers have a moderate level of low back discomfort, with an average score of 25.35 percent.
Conclusion: It also shows that there is a moderate increase in low back discomfort as one's working years grow.
