Evaluation and diagnosis of low back pain

Eron G Manusov. Prim Care. 2012 Sep.

Abstract

The diagnosis of low back pain is complicated by the varying presentations and complex nature of pain and the nonstandardized approach by physicians to clinical decision making. Only a few physicians use evidence-based guidelines to assist with clinical decision making. This article reviews a systematic approach to the evaluation and diagnosis of low back pain.
