Baastrup Syndrome, also known as “kissing spine syndrome,” is a condition where adjacent spinous processes in the lumbar spine make contact and cause pain and inflammation. This condition is often associated with chronic low back pain and tenderness at the site of contact between the spinous processes. Treatment for Baastrup Syndrome typically involves pain management, physical therapy, and activities to improve spinal alignment and flexibility. In some cases, injections or surgical interventions may be considered to alleviate symptoms and improve the patient’s quality of life.
