Low back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide💡—yet in most cases, no clear structural cause can be identified. At the AO Research Institute Davos (ARI), new research is helping to explain why. Using unique multiaxial bioreactors, researchers can replicate real-life spinal movement and observe how mechanical stress affects disc tissue and triggers biological responses linked to pain. This work is helping to connect biomechanics, biology, and patient-reported symptoms—bringing us closer to earlier interventions and more targeted treatments.
