Short overview on guidelines for low back pain: LBP (low back pain guidelines)

Abstract

Low back pain occurs in the area of the back between the lower edge of the 12th rib and the lower edge of the gluteus, with or without spreading down the leg. LBP occurs as a result of a combination of the influence of various physical, psychological and social factors, lifestyle habits and style, associated comorbidities, as well as various health factors that can or cannot be influenced. What is common to all guides is the consensus that multidisciplinary rehabilitation is necessary and that removing psychological obstacles has a significant positive impact on recovery. A multidisciplinary approach to treatment must include at least one physical component of treatment and rehabilitation and at least one component from the biopsychosocial model (psychological, social, occupational-work). Almost all guides suggest NSAIDs as the first pharmacological treatment, followed by the addition of paracetamol and weak opioids.
