The clinical incidence rate of low back pain is high, and there is no specific plan for clinical diagnosis and treatment at present. Some studies have shown that hip joint disease will lead to the occurrence of low back pain. The author analyzed the research progress on combined treatment of hip joint and lumbar spine in improving lumbar spine symptoms in recent years, and expected to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment of low back pain.
