Occupational low back pain approach in primary care

Abstract

A high incidence of low back pain in the population generates high expenses with crises at the secondary and tertiary levels. That said, the research sought to understand what are the currently recommended approaches needed for the condition. A survey was carried out on the PubMed platform, using the keywords "occupational", "low back pain", "primary care" and "approach", where it recorded 22 results related to the last 5 years, 9 of which were discarded for not understanding the relevant issues in search. From this review, we might to show effective approaches in the scope of primary care to optimize person-centered care based on the latest available literature. The selected results point to the need for further studies on the condition, since disagreements were found between approaches indicated by the most recent literature and currently indicated by the Clinical Protocol of Therapeutic Guidelines of the Ministry of Health.
