"The well-established clinical practice guidelines for managing and treating back pain support the use of non-opioid pain-killers, avoidance of imaging, and the use of physiotherapy including exercise therapy. However, a recent study concludes that despite abundant clinical guidelines advocating these methods of care, physicians are increasingly relying on narcotics, CT (computed tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans, and referral to other physicians (presumably for consultation for injections or surgery)... This growing trend negatively impacts both patient quality of care, and overall health care spending."
