Abstracts

Low back pain (LBP) is defined as experiencing musculoskeletal pain, muscle tension, or stiffness localized below the bottom edge of the rib cage and above the gluteal sulcus, with or without sciatica, and is defined as chronic when it persists for 12 weeks or more. This pain may be caused by a variety of diseases and disorders that affect the lumbar spine region.
