Course Description:
The management of Non-Specific Low Back has been
a challenge for clinicians and societies for years.
Historically in the U.S., treatment has utilized a stepwise
model of care where less intensive and
expensive treatments are initiated early in care and
more intensive and expensive testing and
interventions should be reserved for those who fail to
respond to initial treatment efforts. There is
emerging evidence that results and decreased costs
of back care can be enhanced through a risk stratified
model. The use of this model has also been shown to
be more effective in the allocation of healthcare
resources and save costs. This course looks at the
evolution of a risk stratified model of care by
presenting the evidence supporting the approach and
informs clinicians in the use of tools to stratify the risk
for persistent pain and associated disability.
Additionally, participants will become familiar with
psychosocial predictors for impaired recovery of nonspecific
low back pain and how to match evidence
based treatments to specific risk factors to mitigate
risk and improve recovery.
