Is alcohol intake associated with low back pain? A systematic review of observational studies.
Alcohol intake has been widely reported as a risk factor for low back pain (LBP), however, the literature is inconclusive about this association. ⋯ Alcohol consumption appears to be associated with complex and chronic LBP only and in people with alcohol consumption dependence. Clinicians in the musculoskeletal field could use this information to design educational strategies for this population.
