Most patients don’t understand that LBP comes in many shapes and sizes. True LBP comes from the disc, the facet joints, pinched nerves or spinal muscles & tendons. Non-specific LBP originates from another location (sacro-iliac joints, hips, internal organs). It has been estimated that non-specific LBP may be responsible for over 80% of LBP. Understanding where your pain is coming from can help determine your treatment options.
