En savoir plus sur le livre

Most low back pain is a rapidly reversible condition that can often be eliminated quickly by patients themselves. This insight allows for early identification of a large subgroup, leading to significant cost savings and valuable research into the causes and solutions for low back pain. Dr. Donelson, a seasoned spine specialist and educator, brings much-needed clarity and evidence to this complex issue. He highlights flaws in the scientific understanding of low back pain and proposes straightforward, logical remedies. His review of overlooked clinical research reveals that patient-specific treatments can offer both clinical and economic solutions, moving away from the ineffective "one-size-fits-all" guidelines. This approach equips clinicians with methods to help patients manage their low back pain through non-pharmacologic means, facilitating quicker and simpler recoveries. By emphasizing objective decision-making, new insights emerge on avoiding unnecessary medications, costly imaging, specialist referrals, and surgeries. Additionally, psychosocial factors and manual therapies are appropriately contextualized. This work is essential for stakeholders aiming to enhance low back pain management and significantly reduce its annual U.S. cost of over $50 billion, benefiting employers, payers, and disease management groups.
