Evidence-Based Practice...What?

What is evidenced based practice? Evidence based practice means using the best clinical evidence to determine a method of treatment.

Basically, it means there is quality scientific proof that what your health practitioner is doing actually works. In recent years, this has become very important in all aspects of the health care industry as insurers try to cut costs.

There is a recent article on the American Physical Therapy Association website which discusses evidence based solutions to musculoskeletal pain – see it and other PT information here: http://www.apta.org/consumer.
