It is a chronic condition characterized by a persistent dull or sharp pain in the lower back. It afflicts 80% of the adult population some time or other in their lives. In a questionnaire-based survey conducted in Singapore in 2006, 33% of patients with chronic pain of more than 3 months duration admitted to pain symptoms originating from their back. Less than 10% of these patients will require any invasive treatments and even less will eventually require surgical intervention. Find out how to systematically assess a patient with chronic low back pain and what “Red” or “Yellow” flags need to be identified. Physical therapy will benefit the majority of these patients. A small proportion of these patients will benefit from interventional treatments that address their facetal, discogenic or radicular pain even before surgical procedures are considered.
