The epidemiology and medical management of low back pain during ambulatory medical care visits in the united states.
CONCLUSIONS: The percentage of LBP visits provided by primary care physicians in the United States remains suboptimal. Medical management of LBP, particularly chronic LBP, appears to over-utilize surgery relative to more conservative measures such as patient counseling, non-narcotic analgesics, and other drug therapies. Osteopathic physicians are more likely to provide LBP care, and less likely to use NSAIDs during such visits, than their allopathic counterparts. In general, LBP medical management does not appear to be in accord with evidence-based guidelines. PMID: 19025636 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Pain Physician)
