Causes
Common Causes
Possible causes of low back pain: [1] [2]
- Mechanical:
- Apophyseal osteoarthritis
- Facet arthropathy
- Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis
- Degenerative Discs
- Scheuermann's kyphosis
- Spinal disc herniation (slipped disc)
- Spinal stenosis
- Spondylolisthesis and other congenital abnormalities
- Fractures
- Non-specific muscular or ligamentous strains or sprains
- Leg length difference
- Restricted hip motion
- Misaligned pelvis- pelvic obliquity, anteversion or retroversion
- Inflammatory:
- Seronegative spondylarthritides (e.g. ankylosing spondylitis)
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Infection - epidural abscess or osteomyelitis
- Neoplastic:
- Bone tumors (primary or metastatic)
- Intradural spinal tumors
- Metabolic:
