lüll Acute low back pain: assessment and management Wilk VAust Fam Physician 2004[Jun]; 33 (6): 403-7BACKGROUND: Back pain is a common presenting problem in Australian general practice. Serious causes, however, are rare. Tumours, infections and fractures account for less than 1% of cases and can usually can be recognised or excluded by taking a careful history. Patients should expect a good outcome. OBJECTIVE: This article summarises the management of acute low back pain and sets out the key points in history taking including alerting factors for serious disorders, and psychosocial factors that enable a rational management plan. DISCUSSION: A specific cause of pain need not be established for appropriate management to be instituted, with the active engagement of the patient as partner. Although no pattern of pain is diagnostic, a sudden onset of unremitting pain should be regarded as a 'red flag' to a serious underlying disorder. In accordance with evidence based principles, clinicians need to take into account previous experience, personal preferences, and cultural factors when recommending therapy for individual patients.|Acute Disease[MESH]|Analgesia/methods[MESH]|Family Practice/*methods[MESH]|Health Knowledge, Attitudes, Practice[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Low Back Pain/*diagnosis/physiopathology/*therapy[MESH]|Medical History Taking/methods[MESH]|Patient Education as Topic/methods[MESH]|Recovery of Function[MESH]|Rest[MESH] |
