AB  - The  lumbar  spine,  lumbosacral  articulation,  and  sacroiliac  joints  are  prone  to  numerous  dysfunctions  related  to  mechanical  stresses  and  degenerative  changes.  Additionally,  this  region  is  vulnerable  to  acute  trauma  from  falls  or  heavy  lifting  and  chronic  strain  from  repetitive  movements,  ligamentous  laxity,  and  poor  posture.  Those  with  resultant  low  back  and  buttock  pain  syndromes  are  among  the  most  frequently  treated  patients  seen  in  the  clinic.  It  is  essential  that  the  clinical  evaluation  include  knowledge  of  the  underlying  degenerative  changes  in  the  spine  as  revealed  on  radiographs.  The  degree  of  degeneration  will  affect  the  ability  of  the  spine  to  withstand  trauma,  assume  postural  changes,  and  make  functional  gains  in  mobility  and  movement  patterns.
