title: [Lumbalgia--how to proceed?].
abstract: In more than 80% of these patients no objective pathologic cause can be found and in most the disorder is self limited and benign. Nonetheless, a systematic approach to LBP should identify those patients with a serious disorder requiring special treatment. Thorough examination is the basis of treatment and management of these patients at risk for back pain disability with enormous socio-economic consequences. Psychosocial factors are at least as predictive for disability as physical.
