Managing non-serious low back pain in the emergency department: Time for a change?
Emergency Medicine Australasia : EMA 2018 April
Low back pain is a common condition seen in the ED. However, its management in this setting has received relatively little attention and there have been few efforts to develop strategies to improve emergency care of low back pain. In order to ensure that care is appropriately delivered for low back pain patients in the ED, emergency physicians must understand issues of providing low-value care and consider potential solutions to the problem. In this paper, we describe the usual emergency care provided for non-serious low back pain and present possible strategies for restructuring ED practice and approaches for changing physician and patient behaviour. A better understanding of how non-serious low back pain is currently being managed and discussion on how to provide evidence-based care according to current guideline recommendations will help emergency physicians improve the value of care for these patients.
