Dr. William Morgan explains that kinetic chain dysfunction in the lower extremities can lead to low back pain. Abnormal motion in the hip can affect the lower back. A 2015 literature review of twelve studies found that patients with low back pain are likely to exhibit impaired and asymmetrical total hip rotation range of motion (ROM) 1. Another study published in 2012 found that 57.5% of low back pain patients had considerable loss of either hip flexion or extension, and they also experienced corresponding impairment in low back flexion or extension 78.3% of the time 1. The study also found that 70% of patients had considerable loss in both low back flexion and extension 1. To further investigate this relationship, a 2017 study examined 101 middle-aged low back pain patients with or without lower extremity pain and found that 80% of the patients in the study had both hip and low back findings, and these individuals had more intense pain and function loss than the participants 1.
