NEW Low back pain module!

Few diagnoses conjure as much controversy as “non-specific low back pain” (NSLBP).

Many will argue that it’s a terrible term, and in fact we can diagnose specific structures, whilst others say that is simply not possible to diagnose anything in low back pain patients!

Even more frustrating is that when it comes to evidence for treatment of low back pain, there is so much conflicting advice, it sometimes feels like the evidence says that nothing works, leaving you unsure what you’re supposed to do with the low back pain patient in front of you.

You might have picked up some favourite exercises and treatment, but they don’t always work, and it can be frustrating when your patient isn’t improving or reaching their goals.

Manual therapy reduces pain in some patients, but it gets a bad rap, and some patients only get short term pain relief or no improvements at all.

So where does this leave us as clinicians, especially when we want to get the best results for our patients? How do we make sense of and apply the best evidence and still get great results?

With the brand new, comprehensive low back pain module for Clinical Edge members you’ll know:

  • How to be specific with your assessment, diagnosis and management of low back pain, and
  • How to treat low back pain successfully, even when a pathoanatomic diagnosis isn’t possible.
