Investigation of Low Back Pain Level on Symptoms in Chronic Consipation

Investigation of the Effect of Low Back Pain Level on Symptoms in Individuals With Chronic Consipation

Consipation is the most common digestive complaint in the general population

Chronic constipation and low back pain are two common and often co-existing health conditions that affect millions of people worldwide. On the surface, these conditions appear to be unrelated and are associated with different anatomical sites (gastrointestinal tract and musculoskeletal system). However, a growing body of research is beginning to shed light on the complex interplay between chronic constipation and low back pain, highlighting potential links between these seemingly disparate health conditions. Common etiologic factors such as neuromuscular function, chronic inflammation and lifestyle-related variables are known to exist
