The audible pop is not necessary for successful spinal high-velocity thrust manipulation in individuals with low back pain.
To determine the relationship between an audible pop and symptomatic improvement with spinal manipulation in patients with low back pain (LBP). ⋯ There is no relationship between an audible pop during SI region manipulation and improvement in ROM, pain, or disability in individuals with nonradicular LBP. Additionally, the occurrence of a pop did not improve the odds of a dramatic improvement with manipulation treatment.

A cross-sectional and epidemiologic study investigated low back pain. ⋯ The outcome measures concerning physical health in this study were found to be correlated significantly, consistent with the proposed low back pain-related model.

Postural changes are sometimes a risk factor for low back pain. Abnormal posture creates a strain on ligaments and muscles that indirectly affects the curvature of the lumbar spine. This study was planned to investigate the relationship between the angles of the lower lumbar spine and spinal mobility in acute and chronic low back pain patients. ⋯ The value of the sacral inclination angle was significantly higher and correlated with lumbar extension in chronic low back pain patients ( P<0.005, r=0.32). There was no statistical difference or correlation in lumbosacral and sacral horizontal angles and spinal mobility between the two groups ( P>0.05). Chronic low back pain affects the lower lumbar spine and limits the maximal range of;lumbar extension.

A prospective cohort study was conducted. ⋯ Because work-related physical load was a risk factor for sickness absence less than 2 weeks and severe low back pain was a risk factor for sickness absence both shorter than and longer than 2 weeks, a focus on secondary prevention for scaffolders with severe low back pain is advised.

A case report of low back pain associated with a diagnosis of melorheostosis of the lumbosacral spine. ⋯ Melorheostosis rarely causes severe low back pain that can respond favorably to fusion surgery.
