Take 5 – Direct Access Physiotherapy to Help Manage Patients With Musculoskeletal Disorders in an Emergency Department: Results of a randomized controlled trial
A patient comes into the ED with back pain from an injury at home when they went to pick up a heavy box. Their pain hasn’t improved since the incident yesterday and they want to get evaluated for an injury and pain control. Which provider(s) can help them? And how can they be helped? How can we ensure the patient gets better today, one month, and three months from now?
