Discharged and dismissed: A qualitative study with back pain patients discharged without treatment from orthopaedic consultations.
Abstract
Consultation-based reassurance for patients with low back pain (LBP) in primary care has been shown to be associated with patients' outcomes. Little is known about the role of reassurance in people with LBP consulting with orthopaedic spinal care teams. Reassurance may be important, especially in cases where surgery is not indicated and patients are discharged without treatment.
