Background: Low backache (LBA) is a prevalent musculoskeletal disorder that significantly impacts individuals' quality of life, causing chronic pain, limited mobility, and economic burdens due to lost productivity and increased healthcare costs. This study aims to assess the knowledge and awareness of low backache among the general public in Kangra, focusing on symptoms, causes, risk factors, prevention, and management.Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional survey was conducted between January and May 2024 in District Kangra, Himachal Pradesh. A sample of 400 adults, aged 18 and above, who had been residents of the district for at least 12 months, was selected using a 95% confidence level and a 5% margin of error. Data were collected using a pre-tested Google form questionnaire, covering socio-demographic characteristics and knowledge of low backache. The data were analyzed using Epi Info V7 software, with results presented as frequencies and percentages. Ethical considerations, including participant confidentiality and anonymity, were strictly maintained.Results: The study found that while 80.3% of participants had heard of low backache, detailed knowledge of its symptoms and chronic nature was less common. Knowledge of causes and risk factors, such as poor posture (61.0%) and heavy lifting (59.3%), was moderate, but gaps in understanding preventive measures and management strategies were evident. Only 47.3% of participants were aware that physical therapy could manage low backache, and 37.3% recognized the need for surgical intervention in severe cases. Overall, 25.3% of participants had very good knowledge, while 17.8% exhibited poor knowledge.Conclusion: The study highlights significant gaps in knowledge and awareness of low backache among the general public in District Kangra. Targeted educational interventions, public health campaigns, and community-based initiatives are essential to improve understanding of low backache's symptoms, prevention, and management. Leveraging digital platforms to disseminate information can further enhance outreach and promote proactive management of this common condition, ultimately reducing its burden on individuals and society.
