Primary care management of non‐specific low back pain: key messages from recent clinical guidelines

One of the challenges in providing culturally appropriate care among patients with low back pain is that we lack research to guide our efforts. Most evidence about managing and preventing low back pain comes from studies performed in high income countries that have typically enrolled homogeneous samples of participants who are unrepresentative of the diversity in the population. We also lack research investigating the barriers in implementing the available evidence on managing low back pain (and other musculoskeletal conditions) in culturally and linguistically diverse populations such as Aboriginal Australians.
