Low back

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Evaluation of low back pain can prove difficult at times and a nonspecific diagnosis may lead to poor treatment outcomes. Aside from detailed history and physical examination, neurologic and vascular examination are important components that may help to rule out more serious causes of low back pain such as myelopathy or abdominal aortic aneurysm. Low back pain with leg pain may be secondary to a herniated intervertebral disc compressing on a nerve root. Careful examination will allow for an accurate diagnosis and a focused treatment plan including a specific approach with interventional procedures.
