    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Rehabilitation Medicine
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Low back pain (LBP) is a prevalent condition with significant healthcare costs.
    • Etiology of LBP is multifactorial, including mechanical, psychosocial, and economic factors.
    • The lower lumbar spine is commonly affected, yet diagnosis remains uncertain.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review recent theories on the causes of low back pain.
    • To highlight conflicting evidence regarding LBP etiology and diagnosis.
    • To assess the efficacy of existing therapeutic and preventive models for LBP.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of recent theories and evidence on low back pain.
    • Analysis of diagnostic uncertainties and clinical test validity.

  • Evaluation of existing therapeutic and prevention strategies.

    • Main Results:

    • Multiple factors contribute to LBP, but evidence is often conflicting.
    • Diagnostic validity of clinical tests for LBP is insufficient.
    • Few LBP therapies are empirically proven or clinically useful.
    • Prevention of LBP is hindered by a lack of etiological understanding.

    Conclusions:

    • The exact anatomical cause of low back pain remains largely unknown.
    • Current diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for LBP lack robust evidence.
    • Effective primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention of LBP is difficult to achieve.
