Revisiting chronic low back pain: evidence that it is not non-specific.

Seven pain generators had a strong association with SIJ dysfunction. This empirical clinical evidence supports our hypothesis that LSP system dysfunction, as evidenced by SIJ dysfunction, is a common source of symptom patterning associated with CLBP and is most likely the causal element. This is evidence that most CLBP is not "nonspecific" but rather the result of changes made by the NMSK control system for the LSP region.
