Spinal factors in the generation of fibromyalgia syndrome.

In fibromyalgia as well as in low back pain we frequently find disturbances of the posture of vertebral column clinically and radiologically. Also, reduction in the mobility of whole spine and localized movement impairments in both conditions was present. It is likely that the disturbances are responsible for the first manifestations of fibromyalgia in a single localization, especially in lumbar and cervical regions.
