Briefings in BACK PAIN provides multidisciplinary information from the many areas of medical specialization that address back pain of nonorganic origin or related to serious conditions such as inflammatory arthritis, infection, fracture, or cancer. Because the severity and cause of back pain varies so widely, treatment protocols vary significantly. They include opioids, muscle relaxants, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), OTC pain relievers, anabolic steroid injections, surgery, physical therapy and lifestyle changes, chiropractic or acupuncture intervention, and massage therapy and support devices.
     
“Primary care physicians are the principal gatekeepers for referrals to other specialists and often the caregiver for ongoing management,” says publisher Mary Ann Liebert. “Briefings in BACK PAIN keeps medical and surgical specialists and health care providers abreast of new advances and protocols that will optimize their treatment plans according to evidence-based research and clinical experience.”
