Beginning with a review of the anatomy of the lumbar spine and the most common causes of lower back pain, diagnostic and management strategies for a variety of conditions are discussed, including discogenic pain, facet joint pain, sacroiliac joint pain, spondylolisthesis, lumbar radiculopathy, piriformis syndrome, spinal stenosis, and compression fractures. Chapters on epidural steroid injections, exercises for lower back pain and alternative treatments follow, as well as when it is appropriate to recommend surgery.  The second section of the book is devoted to numerous clinical scenarios in which evidence based medicine is applied to actual clinical cases.  Non-Operative Treatment of the Lumbar Spine will be a valuable reference for orthopedists, rheumatologists, physiatrists, pain management specialists, neurologists, and anyone treating patients with lower back pain.   .OrthopedicsPrimary care (Medicine)Pain medicineOrthopedicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H45000Primary Care Medicinehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H51000Pain Medicinehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H47003Orthopedics.Primary care (Medicine).Pain medicine.Orthopedics.Primary Care Medicine.Pain Medicine.610Cooper Grantauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut834901BOOK9910300173003321Non-Operative Treatment of the Lumbar Spine1866120UNINA
