Summary

Lower back pain, especially chronic, is a very complex condition that has different causes. There is no single pathophysiological mechanism that could explain the causes of low back pain. It is defined as non-specific and results in only symptomatic treatment. The mechanisms of pain overlap and combine with genetic, epigenetic, individual factors and lifestyle. On the other hand, when low back pain has a defined cause, the treatment can be causal.

At the beginning of the treatment of patients with non-specific low back pain, identification of those that would probably need more complex treatment is tried. More complex patients, are also referred to physiotherapy, and those who are more likely to develop chronic back pain, should be also referred to a psychologist.

An important place, to interrupt the back pain cycle has spine blockades, either local, trigger points blockades, or x-ray-guided blockades of facet joints or nerve roots.
