•30 subjects will be recruited in each of the three groups, via advertising within the New Zealand College of Chiropractic community. Participants may include students, staff, faculty, and previous patients of the College’s chiropractic center and also family, friends and acquaintances of the New Zealand College of Chiropractic community. Subjects must be English speaking and aged 18-50.
•The inclusion criteria for the NSLBP group is to present a non-specific LBP. LBP being defined by a pain located between the lower rib margins and the buttock crease and for which the pathoanatomical cause of the pain is not determined. To be part of the sub-clinical group a subject must have had some history of recurring spinal dysfunction such as mild pain, ache, and/or stiffness with or without a history of know trauma.

•Exclusion criteria for the LBP and sub-clinical group will be an identifiable cause for the LBP. Subjects will also be ineligible to participate if they exhibit no evidence of vertebral subluxations, have absolute contraindications to spinal adjustment, have experienced previous significant adverse reactions to chiropractic care, or they are suffering from a current lower limb disorder/dysfunction that would make them unable to carry out data recording sessions (e.g. severe sprain/strain/fracture). Individuals with a recent history of inner ear infection with associated balance or coordination problem, a history of cerebral trauma with unresolved neurosensory symptoms, a recent history of vestibular disorder, previous spinal surgery, an involvement in specific balance or stabilization training in the 6 months before testing, and those taking pain medication will be excluded. The low back pain must have been present at least 3 months in the last year to be counted as chronic. In addition, the subclinical subjects must be at a maximum of 2 out of 10 on the pain scale during the day of the data collection.
