Introduction: Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP) linked to vertebral endplate pathologies such as osteoporosis is recognized as a leading cause of disability in older adults. While Modic changes in patients with osteoporosis have not been extensively documented in current literature, BNVA remains a relative contraindication for patients with osteoporosis (T score < -2.5).
