Completely agreed sir. It's quite difficult to convey the pts with low back pain that the cause is unknown . The term non specific is less favoured by the pts as it gives the feeling of uncertainty. Also gives the impression that the healthcare professional is clueless about what am dealing with.

How to better communicate these uncertainty sir.

I agree, it's difficult. I have 2 answers for it. We can say it's just a simple strain or a sprain

I also teach some patient that lbp is like head ache. They do come without any reason. But we know how to manage them.

Sometimes I just let it go, when it does not make any difference in making them do exercises and making them active.
