This type of pain can be due to various forms of mechanical strain such as :

ARTHRITIS ; BURSITIS; DISC DEGENERATION; SACROILIAC DYSFUNCTION; LUMBOSACRAL INSTABILITY; SPONDYLOSIS and OTHERS.

Mechanical strain in these conditions is the result of one or more of the following:

• Abnormal stress upon a normal structure
• Normal stress upon an abnormal structure
• Normal stress upon a normal structure that is not prepared to receive the stress.
  

These conditions commonly lead to a loss of mobility of the joints and muscles of the limbs and/or spine. The loss of mobility results in the loss of the normal lubricating mechanism AFFECTING THE NUTRITION of the articular and muscular soft tissues.
