商品描述
Low back pain affects almost everyone at some point, and many people struggle with pain or limitations despite multiple attempts at treatment. Current spine care is plagued by variability, over-medicalization of biopsychosocial problems, inequity, and an over-emphasis on interventional and surgical care. Guidelines focused on the short-term management of acute low back pain are generally not followed and have limited applicability. Non-specific and poorly verified diagnoses further confound clinical care. The reality is that low back pain is a chronic recurrent problem for most individuals, and care should therefore be directed toward long-term management and optimization of life and function.
Low Back Pain recognizes that all low back pain conditions are not created equally and focuses on effective treatments for a diverse set of low back pain issues. Part of the" What Do I Do Now?: Pain Medicine" series this text provides concise, evidence-based, and practical guidance on the management of back pain and related spinal disorders. With practical information on effective front-line care for those with low back pain, the cases in this book reflect common or illustrative clinical presentations and a solid framework for evaluating those with low back pain, clarity on specific conditions, and a critical approach to diagnosis and treatment.

下背痛幾乎影響每個人，許多人在多次嘗試治療後仍然面臨疼痛或功能限制。目前的脊椎護理面臨變異性、生物心理社會問題的過度醫療、不平等，以及對介入性和外科護理的過度強調。針對急性下背痛的短期管理指導方針通常未被遵循，且適用性有限。非特異性和驗證不充分的診斷進一步混淆了臨床護理。事實上，對於大多數個體而言，下背痛是一個慢性復發性問題，因此護理應該朝向長期管理和生活及功能的最佳化方向發展。
下背痛認識到所有下背痛的情況並不相同，並專注於針對多樣化下背痛問題的有效治療。這本書是《我現在該怎麼做？：疼痛醫學》系列的一部分，提供有關背痛及相關脊椎疾病管理的簡明、基於證據的實用指導。書中提供了針對下背痛患者的有效一線護理的實用資訊，案例反映了常見或具代表性的臨床表現，並提供了一個評估下背痛患者的堅實框架，對特定情況的清晰說明，以及對診斷和治療的批判性方法。
