S2E2 - Low Back Pain Triage: How to Counsel Patients to 'Stay Active'

Welcome to Season 2 of AMC Clinical Deep Dive!

Acute low back pain (LBP) is a common condition, demanding safe triage and guideline-consistent care. Most acute LBP is non-specific and resolves spontaneously. This episode breaks down the critical exam message: Australian guidelines strongly advise against prolonged bed rest and routine imaging, emphasising advice to stay active instead. We review the evidence that active management improves recovery and function. Learn the exact What-Why-How counselling structure and, crucially, how to screen for and avoid the critical error of missing red flags (e.g., Cauda Equina or malignancy) before recommending activity.... Pass your station by applying the low-risk, evidence-based primary care approach.
