Non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) is a condition that can be influenced by a number of pathologies including:
- Sacroiliac joint pain (si joint pain)
- Lumbar radiculopathy (sciatica)
- Lumbar spinal stenosis
- Herniated disk
- Ruptured disc
- Slipped disc
- Degenerative disc disease
Non-specific low back pain is the most common classification of low back/lumbar pain. This is the type of lumbar pain that most people will have at some point in their lives – a sudden, acute, debilitating spasm. It’s called “non-specific” because no single problem or disease can be identified as the source and it often stems from a combination of factors.
