Mechanism of Osteoporotic Low Back Pain -Why do patients with osteoporosis have lower back pain?-

Abstract

Osteoporosis and low back pain are closely related pathologies for physicians who work in pain management. Therefore, it is very important to accurately understand the mechanisms involved from a diagnostic and therapeutic point of view. It is important to note the following: 1. Complications of spinal diseases, 2. Fractures, 3. Osteoporosis, and 4. Sarcopenia are important. Another important point is that these factors do not exist independently, and it is necessary to keep this in mind when examining and treating patients with osteoporosis and back pain.
