AN OVERVIEW OF PRIMARY CARE APPROACH TOWARD LOW BACK PAIN

Description

This fast assessment provides family physicians managing LBP in the primary clinic with a summary of the best available evidence to stratify and improve the quality of care, thereby optimizing patient outcomes. We examined the Cochrane Library, Medline, PubMed, and other medical databases to discover relevant articles. Published studies on the diagnosis and treatment of low back pain with the keywords "low back pain," "primary care," "family physicians," "diagnosis," and "management" through the year 2022. People with low back pain need more care, and primary care doctors are a key part of that. In working with these patients, primary care physicians have unique challenges. In primary care, many patients present with simple low back discomfort. Standards are commonly used to establish care requirements and provide criteria for evidence-based practice; however, the findings of the present study indicate that their directions are not always followed. Even though it's not possible to control or change a health care worker's attitude, experience and education may eventually break down rigid thoughts and beliefs that could hurt patient care.
