title: [A neurosurgeon's point of view on lumbago].
abstract: Low back pain is an important health and economic problem which plagues a large segment of the population of industrialized countries. Etiologic theories based upon tissue damage, and therapeutic measures aimed at eliminating a presumed noxious stimulus are often not efficacious. There is considerable evidence that social and psychological factors play a major role in the symptom complex known as "Low Back pain".
