AB  - We  include  an  extensive  chapter  on  this  subject  in  recognition  of  the  fact  that  back  pain  is  among  the  most  frequent  of  medical  complaints.  Up  to  80  percent  of  adults  have  low  back  pain  at  some  time  in  their  lives  and,  according  to  Kelsey  and  White,  an  even  larger  percentage  will  be  found  at  autopsy  to  have  degenerative  spine  disease.  One  task  of  the  neurologist  is  to  determine  whether  a  disease  of  the  spine  has  compressed  the  spinal  cord  or  the  spinal  roots.  To  do  this  effectively,  a  clear  understanding  of  the  structures  involved  and  some  knowledge  of  orthopedics  and  rheumatology  is  necessary.
