The epidemiology and difficulties in diagnosing low back pain are discussed. Clinical investigations should be limited to those tests that will provide useful information for effective management. Prevention is the best strategy for avoiding low back pain but is realistically hard to practise because the disorder has many environmental and intrinsic risk factors.
