AB The  diagnostic  approach  to  lower  back  pain  is  facilitated  by  classifying  back  pain  into  (1)  nonspecific  low  back  pain,  (2)  back  pain  associated  with  radiculopathy,  and  (3)  back  pain  due  to  a  serious  underlying  cause.It  is  critical  to  screen  for  risk  factors  associated  with  serious  back  pathology  as  well  as  identify  the  presence  of  neurologic  deficits.Imaging  is  indicated  in  select  patients  with  significant  risk  factors  and/or  neurologic  deficits.
