Did you recently see your GP for #lowbackpain? We want to hear how you make decisions about healthcare for back pain in Australia. Participation involves a 10-min survey. Use the link in this post to complete the survey! tinyurl.com/FactSheetSurvey #PrimaryCare Painaustralia



Almost 1 in 3 trials included in the NICE low back pain clinical practice guidelines to support treatments use suboptimal comparators Suboptimal comparators were more common in non-pharmacological trials Great stuff Geronimo Bejarano 👏 Giovanni Ferreira Institute for Musculoskeletal Health doi.org/10.1016/j.bjpt…

🚨 New in JOSPT Community: jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jo… People strongly value physical therapies for LBP over doing nothing, even when effects are very small! 📑Clinicians should engage in SDM that goes beyond treatment type. ❓Fertile environment for overtreatment and low-value care?
