Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to compare patients with low back pain LBP and Modic Changes from The Backcenter Funen Ringe

1 To compare the effect of two types of non-operative treatments

A exercise and advice to be physically active

B restitution and advice not to overload the spine
2 To investigate if the results of the treatment are influenced by gender age smoking and physical load
Detailed Description: The clinical experience is that many patients with Modic changes have relatively severe and persistent LBP which typically appears to be resistant to treatment Furthermore a retrospective study at The Backcenter Funen Ringe shows that patients with MC fail to improve engaging physical activity This is unfortunate because the typical rehabilitation for patients with persistent LBP is back exercises and information about keeping physically active This means that this relatively large subgroup of patients with Modic changes probably does not improve with the rehabilitation tools used today

A randomised controlled trial has therefore been designed to study the specific subgroup of patients with Modic changes In this study we will compare the present state-of-the art rehabilitation approach to persistent LBP namely to exercise and keep active with a new concept restitution The justification for this is that restitution reduces mechanical stress on the vertebrae and therefore would allow heeling of the possible micro fractures in Modic changes
