Is a tissue-specific diagnosis possible or even necessary to manage low back pain or is it a non-specific condition? What role do provocative tests play in making a diagnosis and how does this affect the choice of evidence-based treatment recommendations? Join this one-hour, point-counterpoint presentation with opportunities for audience participation.
Upon completion of this session, participants should gain strategies to:
- Understand the pros and cons of non-specific back pain versus a tissue-specific diagnosis;
- Learn whether provocative tests have a role in selecting evidence-based treatment for back pain.
