Diagnostic considerations in patients with back pain.

Abstract:

:It should be obvious from this article that usually only a focused history and physical examination are needed to evaluate a back patient. A summary of guideline recommendations presented by the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research is provided in Table 7. If followed, few serious mistakes will occur, and a more cost-effective management of the back patient will be possible.
