KNOWING WHAT MAY UNDERLIE PAIN: What Chiropractors Look For
Chiropractors in addition to general practitioners and other healthcare providers must be on the look out for all kinds of underlying triggers of back pain from fractures, infections, tumors, radiculopathy, axial spondylarthritis, and extravertebral causes. These may call for imaging, lab tests, etc., to help identify. 20% of back pain bouts may have these types of underlying issues that really should be discovered in a timely manner. (1) Sometimes, knee osteoarthritis and lumbar spondylosis come together in the same patient. Having one or the other issue significantly raised the risk of having the other. (2) Though they’re not likely in your vocabulary, they are in your chiropractor’s! Schmorl’s nodes. Seen on imaging, these are noted in 33% of low back pain patients and in just 11.5% of asymptomatic subjects. Body weight seems to influence the number of these seen on imaging.
