Low back pain is humanity’s greatest cause of time lost to disability, most often caused by degenerative disc disease (DDD).
This degenerative process begins with dehydration of the disc, leading to loss of disc height and pain due to changes in mechanical forces within the spine. Consequent increased inflammatory markers in the disc, such as IL-1, MMP-3 and ADAMTS4, accelerate this degenerative process and become further sources of pain.
An effective and sustainable treatment for low back pain, needs to address both the mechanical and cellular sources of low back pain.
