Summary
This study looks at whether a brief medical history and physical exam can accurately identify when low back pain comes from the sacroiliac joint. Researchers will compare these findings with the final diagnosis in 140 patients. The goal is to reduce the need for advanced imaging and improve diagnostic accuracy.
