Low Back Pain in Children and Adolescents: an Algorithmic Clinical Approach
Kordi, Ramin & Rostami, Mohsen
Abstract
Low back pain (LBP) is common among children and adolescents. In younger children particularly
those under 3, LBP should be considered as an alarming sign for more serious underlying
pathologies. However, similar to adults, non specific low back pain is the most common type of LBP
among children and adolescents. In this article, a clinical algorithmic approach to LBP in children
and adolescents is presented.
