The rationale for a successful treatment of musculoskeletal pain is an adequate initial assessment. Standardized questionnaires, modern imaging modalities such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and musculoskeletal ultrasound or electrophysiology have enriched our armamentarium in the last decades. Pain inducing pathologies can often be identified and treated in a targeted way due to these procedures. But none of these techniques allows an adequate judgment of the acquired findings. Supplementary tests have to be indicated and interpreted in the context of the patient's entire history and the clinical findings. These two remain to be the cornerstones of the assessment of painful musculoskeletal disorders.
