Nonspecific low back pain is diagnosed by ruling out other causes, usually by means of history taking and physical examination; imaging is not routinely indicated. Patients with acute nonspecific low back pain should receive education about the condition and advice to remain active; most recover within weeks. Exercise therapy and behavioral therapy are recommended for chronic low back pain.
