Introduction: Low back pain is one of the most common causes of short-term,
and sometimes long-term, disability in the population younger than 45 years old.
Approximately 60% to 80% of the population in developed countries experience
back pain in various locations (neck, mid and lower back) at least once in their
lifetime. Guidelines regarding back pain treatment are undergoing constant modifications
and improvements. The relevance of dorsalgia as a significant medical
problem and its management is shown by the increased number of recently published
papers, which has tripled in the past several years (from 22% to 65%).
Aim: To analyze the most critical risk factors of the degenerative intervertebral
disk disease, and to review the effectiveness of invasive and noninvasive methods
of treatment of the lower back pain syndrome.
Material and methods: Recently published papers focusing on invasive and
noninvasive treatments of low back pain syndrome.
Results and discussion: Surgical intervention as a single method of back
pain treatment is indicated in a small number of cases. The risk of repeated surgeries
for intravertebral disk herniation should be considered before any surgical
intervention. A wide variety of treatment options allows to choose the most effective
approach based on individual needs.
Conclusions: Conservative, noninvasive approach has shown to be an effective
alternative for lower back pain and radiculopathy treatment. It has been determined
that ozone therapy is an appropriate, relevant, and affordable treatment method for
patients with vertebral degenerative changes and intravertebral disk diseases.
