Objective: To determine the relationship between functional disability and the level of knowledge of nonspecific low back pain in patients at the Los Álamos Specialized Medical Center, 2023. Materials and Methods: The method used was hypothetical-deductive, and the research approach was quantitative. The population consisted of 106 patients with nonspecific low back pain at the Los Álamos Specialized Medical Center, and the sample consisted of 83 patients. The sampling method was non-probabilistic and census-based. Results: The age group distribution indicates that the majority of the sample falls within the 46-50 years range (46.99%). The second largest group is composed of patients aged 55-60 years (30.12%), while 22.89% belongs to the 40-45 years age range. The sample is slightly dominated by females, with 55.42%, and 44.58% are male. Most participants have a poor level of knowledge about nonspecific low back pain, with 46.99%. 33.73% have a moderate level of knowledge, and only 19.28% have an excellent theoretical knowledge level. The majority have a poor theoretical knowledge level about low back pain (69.88%). 30.12% have excellent theoretical knowledge about low back pain. Conclusions: Regarding knowledge about the complications and consequences of low back pain, the majority of participants show a poor level of understanding. Regarding knowledge about preventive measures and self-care for low back pain, the majority of participants also demonstrate a poor level. There is a relationship between functional disability and the knowledge of nonspecific low back pain.
