Overview
Overview
The goal of this course is to educate nurses, physical therapists, and radiology professionals in the acute care setting on low back pain management.
 
After taking this course, you should be able to:
  • Recognize the important anatomic and pathophysiological components of low back pain.
  • Indicate the signs and symptoms that suggest urgent management vs. conservative management is needed.
  • Indicate appropriate treatments for different forms of low back pain.
Goals and Outcomes
Goals and Learning Outcomes
Low back pain is a common complaint that will present in a variety of practice settings including emergency departments (EDs), primary care offices, urgent care, and rehabilitation facilities. While most cases of acute low back pain are benign, self-limited, and musculoskeletal in origin, a small minority of them can be life-threatening. Thus, it is critical to identify the signs and symptoms referred to as “red flags” that indicate a diagnosis that can lead to permanent disability or death if not identified and treated urgently. This course provides healthcare providers with a focused and structured approach for differentiating patients who have benign causes of pain from those who will need further medical workup and possibly advanced imaging.
