Abstract
Back pain, one of man's most common afflictions, can be caused by a wide variety of disorders ranging from exercise-induced lumbar strain to spinal cord compression by metastatic tumor. A rational approach to the diagnosis and management of the patient with back pain allows the physician to treat self-limited disorders without excessive workup while identifying those patients with malignant disease sufficiently early to prevent permanent neurological damage.Entities:
