Medical - Medical (general) / newspaper article on back pain
Italian term or phrase: in seconda battuta
"Le attuali ilinee guida internazionali per il trattamento del disturbo raccomandano come prima linea di trattamento paracetamolo e l'intervento del medico che rassicuri i pazienti e li incoraggi a rimanere attivi ed evitare il riposo a letto, fornendo istruzioni sui giusti movimenti da compiere. Gli antinfiammatori e le manipolazioni spinali vengono indicate come utili per accelerare il recupero. Secondo il team australiano che ha condotto lo studio, queste indicazioni non sarebbero utili neppure in seconda battuta." Sorry it's long, but it was to give full context.
