Abstract

Acute pain in the lower back and the neck is a common reason for medical care. The costs associated with this disease, pose a serious financial burden on society in the developed countries. spine stability is ensured by ligaments and muscles of the back and abdomen. Some authors identify the so-called mechanical pain in the lower back, which is associated with the violation of the biomechanics of the spine, it is a musculoskeletal pain and is not associated with nerve compression or serious spine disease. The prevalence of such pain is higher in young and active adults. The most common type of neck pain is non-specific ("mechanical", axial) pain. Often the exact cause or origin of it can not be evaluated. For relief of acute pain in the back and neck most widely used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. From this group of drugs ketorolac (Ketorol) is often selected, with its analgesic effect at a dose of 30 mg, to be administered intramuscularly, is comparable to the effect of 10-12 mg of morphine or 50 mg of meperidine. Limiting the duration of treatment is able to reliably increase the safety of ketorolac therapy.
