In most cases of low back pain

In most cases of low back pain, there is no specific physical cause.
The GP must take into account a specific cause for complaints that do not fit the normal pattern of non-specific low back pain and an unexplained prolonged or progressive course.
In acute non-specific low back pain is the policy aimed at promoting exercise and the resume of activities; the emphasis is on providing information and giving advice.
If symptoms within 2 to 3 weeks not sufficiently correct or always recur, the policy remains focused on resume and expand operations, but now according to a time-contingent approach.
Be in such a course alert to impending chronicity; early detection of psychosocial risk for a chronic course is important, including inappropriate illness behavior and work-related problems that may hinder the recovery.
