  2. Understanding Low Back Pain Low back pain is one of the most common and disabling conditions worldwide. It can be acute, subacute, or chronic, and often stems from a mix of physical, psychological, and lifestyle factors.

  3. Evidence-Based Practice Effective care combines clinical research, therapist expertise, and patient preferences. This approach ensures treatment is safe, personalized, and focused on long- term outcomes.

  4. Ruling Out Red Flags Serious conditions must be ruled out early, such as Cancer, Spinal infection, or Cauda equina syndrome. Early detection ensures the patient gets appropriate and timely medical attention.

  5. First-Line Care Education, reassurance, and staying active are the foundation of early care. Avoiding prolonged rest helps maintain mobility and prevents worsening pain.

  6. Exercise-Based Therapy Targeted exercises improve core strength, flexibility, and function. They are proven to reduce pain and help patients return to normal activity safely.

  7. Adjunctive Modalities Heat therapy, TENS, and short-term NSAIDs may relieve symptoms temporarily, but they should support— not replace—active rehabilitation.

  8. Manual Therapy Joint mobilization, manipulation, and soft tissue techniques can ease pain and stiffness. These methods are most effective when paired with active exercise.

  9. Psychosocial Factors Addressing fear, stress, and low confidence is vital. Patient education and supportive coaching improve motivation and speed up recovery.

  10. Key Takeaways Combining movement, exercise, education, and manual therapy creates the best outcomes. Active participation leads to lasting pain relief and improved function. Thankyou www.movewellmn.com
