Low back pain in the primary care setting.
Journal of Family Practice 1976 August
A study of the natural presentation, course, and treatment of low back pain in the primary care setting was undertaken. One hundred and forty-four charts listing low back pain as a problem were reviewed at a family practice center for a period of one year. A profile of the patient evaluated by the primary care physician emerged, revealing a high incidence of associated weight problems (70 percent), psychologic problems (33 percent), and hypertension (19 percent). The rate of actual or suspected disc disease (1.4 percent) was much lower than that reported in series from referral centers. This study of low back pain in the primary care setting illustrates the usefulness of outpatient study in defining a problem category, recognizing disease as a symptom complex, suggesting modalities of treatment, and designing a curriculum for the primary care physician.
