Docs Still Order Imaging for Low Back Pain, Against Recommendations

Kathryn Doyle  |  October 19, 2016

Back Pain and the Role of the Physical Therapist

Andrew A. Guccione, PT, PhD and Jan K. Richardson, PT, PhD, OCS  |  October 7, 2011

Back pain is a common occurrence, so much so that most adults will have at least one episode of back pain at some point in their lives. Fortunately, most of these episodes last only a few days and resolve if patients maintain normal activity levels, avoid the detrimental effects of too much bed rest, use over-the-counter pain relievers with caution, and seek the attention of a health professional if the pain or other symptoms persist or worsen over time.
