Abstract: Between 49% and 90% of individuals in industrialized countries will experience a minimum of one episode of low pain in the back (LBP) throughout their lifetime. We aimed by this overview to evaluate the diagnosis and management of Low back pain in Primary care through family practice. This descriptive review summarizes current efficiency on primary care setting and about knowledge of the diagnosis and treatment of Low Back Pain, treatment outcome, several studies of LBP in primary care were identified through electronic searches of Medline, Cinhahl, Embase, Psychlit, until November 2016. The search also included checking the reference lists of retrieved papers. Low back pain is very typical. When possible, the most proper diagnostic technique is to look for specific biomechanical causes and identify potential structural pain generator(s). Most signs deal with fairly immediately with little intervention, but recurrence prevails. Patient history and physical examination are very important in differentiating potential etiologies and immediately recognizing red flags representing more severe conditions, along with yellow flags that may puzzle both medical diagnosis and diagnosis. Findings need to follow known pathologic procedures. Pain that is irregular with known patterns of disease represents an important yellow flag and requires careful re-evaluation. Because of the high incidence of radiologic irregularities in asymptomatic persons, diagnostic imaging must be purchased only when really necessary. Founded gaps plainly exists amongst primary care professionals with respect to the diagnosis and treatment of LBP, particularly in the evaluation of red flag conditions, use of diagnostic imaging and recommendations given to patients concerning active treatments.
