    Plain film imaging is sufficient for common chronic low back pain cases. This imaging helps guide further investigations for symptomatic low back pain from spinal or non-spinal causes.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Orthopedics
    • Pain Management

    Background:

    • Chronic low back pain is a prevalent condition with diverse etiologies.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management of low back pain.
    • Imaging plays a key role in the diagnostic pathway for low back pain.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review imaging procedures for the lumbar spine in the context of chronic low back pain.
    • To highlight the utility of plain films in evaluating common low back pain.
    • To discuss the role of imaging in guiding further investigations for symptomatic low back pain.

    Main Methods:

    • General review of diagnostic imaging procedures for the lumbar spine.
    • Focus on the application of plain films for chronic low back pain.

  • Discussion of indications for further investigations based on initial imaging findings.

    • Main Results:

    • Plain films are the primary imaging modality for common chronic low back pain.
    • Plain films are adequate for diagnosing uncomplicated cases of low back pain.
    • Imaging findings can differentiate between spinal and non-spinal causes of symptomatic pain.

    Conclusions:

    • Plain film radiography remains a cornerstone in the initial assessment of chronic low back pain.
    • Appropriate use of plain films can streamline the diagnostic process.
    • Further imaging or investigations should be guided by clinical presentation and initial radiographic findings in symptomatic patients.
