Sažetak
Spinal pain, especially chronic low-back pain is one of the most prominent health and healthcare problems. Better understanding of pain pathophysiology and more precise visualization using modern imaging techniques help us to focus our intervention and obtain better outcome. In most patients with spine conditions symptoms and function resolve with conservative treatment. In this article we report on novelties in pathophysiology of spinal pain, magnetic resonance imaging and conservative treatment options (medications, therapeutic exercise, physical therapy and orthoses) of painful spine conditions and scoliosis. Apart from being informative, together with the corresponding article about novelties in invasive /surgical treatment, this special focus article on recent developments in this area can be used as an aid in decision making when approaching these patients.
