A physicians response to a patient with low-back pain (LBP) should take into account psychological and social factors as well as physical symptoms, according to an article published in The Journal of Family Practice. The article looks at two case studies in light of evidence-based clinical guidelines developed by Roger Chou et al. for the American Pain Society and the American College of Physicians. The articles authors, whose work was funded in part by NCCAM, recommend a measured approach to the use of imaging (x-rays and MRI/CT scans) and medication.
