Usual Care for Low Back Pain Often Not in Sync With Clinical Guidelines
Thursday, February 18, 2010 at 2:50PM "The usual care provided by Australian general practitioners for low back pain does not match the care endorsed in international evidence-based guidelines and may not provide the best outcomes for patients, according to new research published in the February 8 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine."
Low back pain is the 7th most common reason Australians head to the GP, yet this report shows that not only are they typically give the wrong advice, they're given poor advice, and prescribed inappropraite medication the majority of the time.
I do get clients who are actively recommended not to continue with chiropractic care by their GP, despite plenty of evidence that supports it as an appropriate approach for back care. Oddly enough most of these reports focus on pain relief, and then say 'live with the problem', failing to recognise that a well implimented care plan can make a huge difference to how healthy you can be.

Chiropractic treatment is one of the best methods for treating numerous health problems naturally. After years of experience being a chiropractor, I have found that it is a powerful way to solve many non-pain condition as well, such as fatigue, sleep problems, and sinus problems.
