Description
Patients who have a herniated disc require a specific treatment plan that may include pain management, exercises and rest. Most of the time, these treatments work well, but sometimes, complications or a worsening of the condition can occur. Patients need to know the signs and symptoms that tell them that everything is going well and when things are deteriorating. This Herniated Disc Stoplight Tool puts all the details into an easy to understand format, so clients know when to seek treatment.
Stoplight tools divide various signs and symptoms into green, yellow, and red management zones. Green indicates good control, yellow indicates caution and gives specific steps for action, and red indicates a medical crisis that requires calling 911.
This Herniated Disc Stoplight Tool is based on the guidelines for care of a herniated disc. It can be customized with your agency’s name and contact information. Available in English and Spanish. 50 sheets per pad
