Abstract

This chapter comprehensively address beliefs about back pain and provide a detailed review of recent initiatives designed specifically to target beliefs. A variety of disease processes, or some local pathology may include back pain among presenting symptoms, but back pain in the vast majority of those presenting with it is not associated with any recognisable pathology or identifiable injury and, as the authors point out, is best described as ‘nonspecific low back pain’ or ‘simple back pain’.
