The Effects of Walking on Low Back Pain
Introduction[edit | edit source]
Low back pain that is not associated with serious or potentially serious causes has been described in the literature as 'non-specific', 'mechanical', 'musculoskeletal' or 'simple' low back pain.[1] Non-specific low back pain is defined as low back pain not attributable to a recognisable, known specific pathology (eg, infection, tumour, osteoporosis, fracture, structural deformity, inflammatory disorder, radicular syndrome, or cauda equina syndrome).[2] Lower back pain is defined to be between the anatomical regions of the ribs and gluteal folds.[3]
