Nonspecific back pain is still one of the main causes of financial and economic costs in developed countries. International recommendations for the treatment of this disease have been changed significantly over the past 30 years. A comprehensive personalized approach to treating a patient with the back pain requires the selection of the most safe and inexpensive methods of prevention, treatment and rehabilitation. In this article, the treatment of acute, subacute and chronic back pain is discussed in detail. In such patients the particular attention is given to analgesic therapy, ranging from the appointment of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), muscle relaxants and "symptom-modifying drugs of slow action" (Teraflex^®), before the application of interventional therapy.

Key words: nonspecific back pain, spondylarthrosis, facet syndrome, SI joint dysfunctions, minimally invasive treatment, interventional therapy.
