Original Title: Interventions spécifiques de réadaptation en déficience physique pour éviter la chronicisation des maux de dos non spécifiques chez les adultes
Authors' objectives: To identify: 1) the rehabilitation methods that are thought to be the most effective, and 2) the specific service offering (primary care) to be implemented to avoid the chronification of non-specific back pain in adults.
Authors' results and conclusions: Different methods of non-medicinal interventions are recommended to avoid chronification of back pain. These interventions include physical therapy and rehabilitation treatment, self-management, and education for patients, returning to daily activities, cognitive-behavioural psychological interventions, sports activities, and a multidisciplinary rehabilitation program.
Authors' recommendations: › Reassuring information must be given to the patient. In 90% of cases, non-specific back pain goes away in less than four to six weeks. › Progressive and early return to physical activity is the main way to enable favorable progress and to avoid a relapse. › Early detection of patients who are at risk for chronicity is recommended. › In the absence of improvement following treatment by a multidisciplinary team, it is suggested to include a specialized physician, and if necessary, an occupational physician (according to Quebec terminology, a specialist in preventive medicine). › Biopsychosocial management of patients must be patient-centered and be based on a shared medical decision.
Authors' methods: literature review using a systematic approach
