The American College of Physicians and the American Pain Society have developed recommendations for diagnosing and treating low back pain in adults who have acute or chronic low back pain unrelated to major trauma. Low back pain is the second most common complaint-related reason for physician visits. Direct medical costs and indirect costs (lost work days) are substantial. Those seeking care usually show improvement in pain and disability and return to work in the first month; about a third report persistent pain 1 year after the initial episode (Ann. Intern. Med. 2007; 147:478-91).
