What causes you to still have low back pain even after having a lumbar fusion surgery?
(HINT: The root cause may not be in your low back!)
Here are some causes that may cause low back pain after having a fusion:
-
Bad surgery and poor fusion device
-
tight QL and hip flexor muscles
-
lack of full hip extension
-
hypertonic hip flexor muscle
-
a leg length discrepancy
-
hip arthritis or hip impingement
-
poor core stability
-
weak glute strength
