[edit | edit source]

Treatment-based classification (TBC) of low back pain describes the model whereby the clinician makes treatment decisions based on the patient's clinical presentation.


First Level Classification[edit | edit source]

This step involves determining if the patient is appropriate for physical therapy services, or if a referral to other professionals is necessary.

Second Level Classification[edit | edit source]

This step involves a determination of the patient's level of severity and/or acuity.  For patients in need of intensive intervention (those presenting with severe or acute symptoms), the third stage of the classiciation will be undertaken to determine the best treatment to suit the patient.

Third Level Classification[edit | edit source]

The following are the main treatment groups indentified in the literature:

Manipulation[edit | edit source]
Stabilization[edit | edit source]
Traction[edit | edit source]
Directional Specific Exercise[edit | edit source]
  • Flexion
  • Extension
  • Lateral Shift

Indication
[edit | edit source]

add text here relating to the indication for the intervention

Clinical Presentation[edit | edit source]

add text here relating to the clinical presentation of the condition, including pre- and post- intervention assessment measures. 

Key Evidence[edit | edit source]

add text here relating to key evidence with regards to any of the above headings

Resources / Media
[edit | edit source]

add appropriate resources here, including text links or content demonstrating the intervention or technique

Case Studies[edit | edit source]

add links to case studies here (case studies should be added on new pages using the case study template)
