Diagnosis and treatment of nonspecific back pain

Abstract

The article tells about recent algorithms for diagnosis and treatment of patients with back pain. In primary outpatient care, patients with back pain can be classified into one of two categories: "non-specific" musculoskeletal pain and "specific" pain caused by a potentially dangerous disease. This helps general practitioners to perform adequate diagnostics and prescribe effective therapy.
