- Professor Peter O'Sullivan - a Physiotherapist, researcher & educator on low back pain and chronic injury, sets out 10 Back Facts that everybody with a history of low back pain should know
- MRI changes in the low back are common in people who have never experienced low back pain (asymptomatic patients). This makes interpreting the 'clinical relevance' of MRI findings in persons who low back pain very challenging
- the are many contributors to pain that are not purely structural. Reducing and managing low back pain and injury effectively should be done with a patient-centered approach that takes these many contributors into consideration
- there are a range of treatments that are effective in managing low back pain. Both a detailed understanding of the type of low back pain, and a skill-set in best treatment approaches to manage low back pain will help achieve the best outcomes
