General practitioner use different methods for the treatment of patients with low back pain. The choice of kind of therapy is not related with the used diagnostic method. A large variety of therapeutic interventions is available for treatment of low back pain, but the effectiveness of most of them has not been demonstrated. The treatment of low back pain is mainly conservative and symptomatic. Conclusions. In the article are reviewed and critically evaluated different diagnostic and therapeutic methods used by physicians for the treatment of patients with low back pain. Results of existing studies suggest that applied therapeutic treatments mainly do not base on scientific based results.
Summary		Izhodišča. Bolečina v križu je eden najpogostejših simptomov, s katerim se vsakodnevno srečuje zdravnik splošne medicine. O etiologiji in patogenezi bolečine v križu je malo znanega. Pri obravnavi bolnika z bolečino v križu se uporabljajo številni diagnostični postopki, ki pa večinoma ne vplivajo na vrsto terapije. Pri bolečini v križu obstajajo in se uporabljajo različne vrste terapije. Zdravljenje bolečine v križu je v glavnem konzervativno in simptomatsko. Učinkovitost večine terapevtskih metod pa ostaja nedokazana. Zaključki. V prispevku so opisani in kritično ovrednoteni diagnostični in terapevtski postopki, ki jih uporabljajo zdravniki pri obravnavi bolečine v križu. Številne študije kažejo, da uporabljeni postopki v glavnem ne temeljijo na znanstveno utemeljenih ugotovitvah.
