Outcome of low back pain in general practice. Evidence based practice can improve outcome.
Year: 1998
Type: article
Abstract: Editor—Croft et al describe 12 month outcome in low back pain.1 Their paper documents the disease course, but it is surprising that they do not describe patient management. The Royal College of General Practitioners has published evidence based guidelines for the management of acute back pain.2,3 These guidelines recommend active management followed by manipulative treatment at 4-6 weeks if active management fails. An evidence based book for patients with back pain (The Back Book) was launched with the guidelines.4
