Modern concepts in lumbar syndrome therapy: a review of literature

Lumbar pain syndrome (LPS) includes painful sensations in the area of the lumbar or lumbosacral part of the spinal column, which may ormay not be accompanied by the spread of pain to the lower extremities. Accurate diagnosis of this syndrome is crucial, as it is often accompanied by dysfunction of the lumbosacral segment of the spine, protective spasms of the muscles, as well as possible sensibility disorders. Pain in the lumbosacral region, which in our country is called a lumbar syndrome, includes terms such as lumbar discopathy, lumbago, lumboschialgia,sciatica, compressive lumbar syndrome, and others. In the international literature, the most common expressions for this phenomen are low back pain, lumbar syndrome, lumbago, lumbalgia, and similar terms.
