Abstract
Low back pain (LBP) accounted for over 2.5 million of United States emergency department (ED) visits in year 2019. Without red flag historical or clinical features such as neurologic deficits or urinary retention this complaint rarely warrants additional workup and can be managed in the outpatient setting. However, patients can experience significant discomfort, and ED return visits are not uncommon with some studies suggesting return rates of 4.5% to 39%. Physical therapy (PT) is a well- described treatment modality for outpatient treatment for LBP after primary care referrals.
