Excerpt

In his article Panjabi gives a concise overview on the current knowledge and understanding of low back and neck pain [12]. He introduces the hypothesis that chronic back pain originates from subfailure injuries of three types of spinal ligamentous structures and their embedded mechanoreceptors: namely the spinal ligaments, the disc annulus and the facet capsules. These injured tissues then send out corrupted transducer signals to the neuromuscular control unit, and as a result corrupted muscle response patterns are generated leading to adverse consequences such as higher stresses, muscle fatigue, further injuries, and inflammation. …
