AB - Low back pain is defined as pain and discomfort, localised below the costal
margin
and above the inferior gluteal folds, with or without leg pain. It is one of
the
most commonest cause of seeking physician office visits, secound cause of
sick
leave, and because of high direct and indirect costs it has great medical,
social
and economic impact for individual, family and society. Non-specific low back
pain
is defined as low back pain not attributed to recognisable, known specific
pathology
and specific low back pain which has known pathomorfological cause. For most
patients with low back pain a thorough history taking and clinical
examination are
suffitient. Extended diagnostic analysis are needed in the case of nerve root

pain/radicular pain and serious spinal pathology, respectively after

identification
of red flags. Moreover, great attention has to be achieved at psychosocial
factors
or so called yellow flags which increase the risk of developing chronic low
back
pain and long term disability (including work loss associated with low back
pain).
