Abstract: | In this discussion, we hope to advance a clinical approach to low back pain that is more in line with our modern understanding
of neuropathic pain. We review the current understanding of normal and pathologic neuroanatomy of the lumbar spine and then
outline how pathology in the different structures can lead to neuropathic pain and cause common pain patterns seen in clinical
practice. We also detail the available treatments for neuropathic low back pain. |
