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.
