Lower back pain is a common health problem for the adult working population with incidence
increasing with age. Annually nearly 50% of adults globally have an episode of
significant and disabling lower back pain causing a huge economic impact. There are 2 classifications of lower back pain, these are:
Non-Specific Lower Back.
NSLBP is pain that cannot be attributed to a specific cause affecting 85% of sufferers. It can often be the result of an accident or injury which subsequently causes the muscles of the lower back to react with spasms and tension. These muscle spasms can be very uncomfortable and debilitating in extreme circumstances.
Specific Lower Back Pain
SLBP indicates that there is a potentially identified reason for the cause of the pain such as a bulging disk pushing on structures and nerves, a fractured vertebra causing weakness in the bones or facet joint pain due to degenerative changes or stiffness in these joints.
