Obesity, Vascular Disease, and Lumbar Disc Degeneration: Associations of Co-Morbidities in Low Back Pain

Low back pain and obesity are both rising epidemics. This manuscript will examine global trends in obesity, contributory lifestyle and societal factors, and morbidity and mortality associated with cardiovascular disease. Using this background information, the article will explore the complex physiological process of atherosclerosis and association between impaired lumbar perfusion and low back pain. It will also give specific guidance on exercise and nutrition to help treat these potential underlying and contributory mechanisms of spine pathology.
