- Abstract
- (en) [Maladaptive beliefs of patients suffering from chronic low back pain: Why should we care?] Among the numerous risk factors identified in the literature as potentially favoring the chronicity of lower back pain are certain beliefs and detrimental representations held by patients regarding their condition. Consequently, healthcare professionals treating patients suffering from low back pain must identify and modify these detrimental beliefs and, furthermore, ensure they exhibit appropriate behavior and discourse to avoid inducing or reinforcing such beliefs. This article, aimed at clinicians, addresses various types of patient beliefs and their consequences, messages to avoid and prioritize from healthcare professionals, and different therapeutic strategies (including educational tools) that can be considered in the presence of detrimental beliefs. The effects of progressive activity and exercises as a means of improving beliefs are also discussed.
