ABSTRACT

Non-specific low back pain has become a great challenge to practitioners all around the world the problem being the lack of understanding of its pathology. This work shows how posture can lead to Non-Specific Low Back Pain (NSPLB) and particularly the backward bending. Sprains, strains and bruises mostly occur but misalignment of vertebrae can occur in some extreme cases.
