The significant number of patients that fall into this category has prompted spine surgeons to consider other potential etiologies for LBP, and SIJ dysfunction has become a rapidly developing field of research. [mdedge.com]

However, this diagnostic finding alone is not specific and might represent other etiologies known to produce similar pain, such as intervertebral discs and facet joints. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Clinically, DISH with spinal stenosis seemed a more likely etiology for his symptoms. Spinal stenosis should be suspected in patients in whom low back pain is relieved by sitting or leaning forward and exaggerated by extension. [hopkinsarthritis.org]
