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 causes of back pain from fractures, infections, tumors, radiculopathy, axial spondylarthritis, and extravertebral causes. These may call for imaging, lab tests, etc., to assist in the diagnosis. 20% of back pain episodes may have these types of underlying conditions that really should be discovered in a timely manner. (1) Sometimes, knee osteoarthritis and lumbar spondylosis come together in a patient. Having one or the other condition significantly raised the odds of having the other. (2) Though they are 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 only 11.5% of asymptomatic subjects. Body weight seems to influence the number of these seen on imaging.
