Lakshmeesha M T, Purushothama Raju N, Suresh P.

Background:Chronic back pain is a significant health concern worldwide, impacting the quality of life and increasing the burden on healthcare systems. The etiology of chronic back pain is diverse, often involving various spinal disorders that can be identified through radiological imaging. Methods: This radiological cross-sectional study involved 300 patients presenting with chronic back pain. We employed a comprehensive radiological evaluation, including X-ray, MRI, and CT scans, to determine the prevalence and patterns of spinal disorders among the participants. Results: Preliminary findings indicate a high prevalence of degenerative spinal conditions, notably disc herniation and spinal stenosis, among the study population. Variations in the patterns of spinal disorders were observed, with certain age groups showing a higher propensity for specific conditions. Conclusion: The study underscores the importance of radiological imaging in diagnosing underlying spinal disorders in patients with chronic back pain. Identifying the prevalence and patterns of these conditions can aid in developing targeted treatment strategies, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
