Abstract
LBP symptoms can be induced in back-healthy individuals in prolonged standing and are relieved upon exiting standing [1]. These individuals who develop LBP (pain developers -PDs) are 3 times more likely to develop a clinical episode of LBP within two years than their non-pain developer (NPD) counterparts [2].

We investigated the changes in spinal alignment (Cobb angle) and local IVD structure over time in PDs. Forty human subjects (age 18-30, BMI
