title: [Spinal syndromes. On the clinical aspects and possibilities of conservative therapeutic approaches].
abstract: The great socio-economic importance of back pain is undisputed. A precise definition and nomenclature of the multiple clinical syndromes aids in a clearer assessment of the individual problems of the patient and subsequently the selection of suitable conservative therapeutical measures. It is stressed that each treatment has to be selected with care and in consideration of the individual situation. The lack of generally applicable recommendations and patented recipes is emphasized. Therapeutical possibilities are essentially based on three columns: active and passive physical treatment both supported by the third mean, pharmacotherapy. Secondary prophylaxis following the acute phase of the disease should not be forgotten.
