Assessing the low back
The publication of the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) Guidelines for ‘Early management of persistent non-specific low back pain’ in May 2009 caused something of a stir in medical circles. For the first time, treatments like chiropractic, osteopathy and acupuncture, are included in the recommended approach for tackling low back pain within the National Health Service. I’ve been banging on about the importance of these guidelines to anyone within earshot since they came out.
Who produced these Guidelines?
The NICE Development Group responsible for the Low Back Pain Guidelines was chaired by Professor of Primary Care Research, Martin Underwood, and included various medical doctors, a professor of pain management, a spine surgeon, a physiotherapist, a nurse clinician, a psychologist, patient representatives, an osteopath and a chiropractor.
