  • Title: Medical therapy of low back pain.
    Author: Borenstein D.
    Journal: Orthop Rev; 1993 Jan; 22(1):20-5. PubMed ID: 8421634.
    Abstract:
    Low back pain is a common clinical symptom usually associated with mechanical disorders, primarily muscle strain, affecting the lumbosacral spine. The majority of patients with low back pain improve within a 2-month period with conservative medical management. Conservative management includes limited physical activity, injections, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and muscle relaxants. These therapies work best in combination and are very effective in decreasing low back pain.
