Background and Significance: Low back pain is the number two reason Americans see their healthcare professional –second only to colds and flu. Low back pain is defined as, “acute or chronic pain in the lumbar or sacral regions, which may be associated with musculo-­ligamentous sprains and strains; intervertebral disk displacement; and other conditions”. Unhealthy lifestyle behaviours are primary contributors to the prevalence of lifestyle-­related conditions, including low back pain, this century. New theories suggest weight loss may reduce the harmful effects of added load on the spine that cause altered biomechanics and increased potential for early degeneration. Current treatment for low back pain does not involve the use of weight management as an intervention.
