Methods: This was a cross-sectional and observational study, conducted on patients of CLBP presented and evaluated with relevant radiological investigation in neurosurgery clinics in Rajasthan.
Results: The mean age of the study population was 46.62 years with female dominance (73.85%). 63.96% had moderate work followed by severe work 28.98%. The prevalence of spondylolisthesis was 16.61% (47).
