Abstract
This article reviews the evidence for using modalities and/or exercise treatment in patients with nonspecific low back pain. Poor evidence of efficacy exists for the use of modalities in this patient group. Exercises are beneficial for patients with subacute and chronic nonspecific low back pain. Further studies are needed for type, frequency, duration, and intensity of exercises.
