An exploration of patients’ perceptions and coping strategies for LBP
Our exploration of patient views and expectations for low back pain care indicates a mismatch between the care they are looking for and the care they receive. It also suggested a general lack of knowledge about the cause of LBP, the value and usefulness of imaging for its diagnosis and treatment, and poor physician-patient communication.
