Do not offer
For the record, these are all the verboten, “do not offer” treatments currently listed in the Nice guidelines (draft) for non-specific chronic low back pain:
- belts or corsets
- foot orthotics, rocker sole shoes
- traction
- acupuncture
- ultrasound
- PENS, TENS, interferential therapy
- paracetamol alone, opioids, antidepressants, anticonvulsants
- spinal injections, disc replacement, spinal fusion
Hardly a complete list, I’m sure, but these are the ones that made it to the current draft. (And yeah, “verboten” is obviously a bit of whimsical hyperbole. This is from something explicitly called “guidelines” after all. 😃)
