Findings in the below study.

” Patient education is also imperative, as these patients are at risk for further future episodes of back pain. Chronic back pain (>6 months’ duration) develops in a small percentage of patients. Clinicians’ ability to diagnose the exact pathologic source of these symptoms is severely limited, making a cure unlikely. Treatment of these patients should be supportive, the goal being to improve pain and function.”

What does this all mean?

It means that patient education, activity modification, and progression of graded resistance of corrective exercise must only be implemented AFTER a proper plan and diagnosis has been found. A qualified Doctor of Physical Therapy and sports medicine is crucial for returning to sports in a proper way. Make sure to find a specialist and an outlier in the profession, DONT settle for the status quo.

Abstract

Low back pain is an extremely common presenting complaint that occurs in upward of 80% of persons. Treatment of an acute episode of back pain includes relative rest, activity modification, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, and physical therapy. Patient education is also imperative, as these patients are at risk for further future episodes of back pain. Chronic back pain (>6 months’ duration) develops in a small percentage of patients. Clinicians’ ability to diagnose the exact pathologic source of these symptoms is severely limited, making a cure unlikely. Treatment of these patients should be supportive, the goal being to improve pain and function.
