Many people experience low back pain during their lives. Low back pain usually resolves within a couple of weeks or months; however, for some people, it can last for several months or years. Recently, experts developed a guideline for physical therapists to use when treating low back pain. This guideline aims to improve treatment and outcomes for people with back pain, and help you and your physical therapist make decisions that work best for you.
