Abstract
BACKGROUND: Low back pain is a significant spinal disorder that affects much of the population at some point during their lives.OBJECTIVE: While proper diagnosis is key, diagnosing the underlying cause of low back pain may often be unclear.METHOD: In this review article, we discuss lumbar instability as an etiology of low back pain and its treatment by prolotherapy.RESULTS: Spinal ligaments may be an underlying culprit in the development of lumbar instability with resultant low back pain and associated disorders.CONCLUSION: In these cases, adequate treatment consisting of non-biologic prolotherapy or cellular prolotherapy, including platelet rich plasma (PRP), can be beneficial in restoring spinal stability and resolving chronic low back pain.
