Clinical management options in response to case scenario 3. Likelihood of nine given clinical management options being followed in response to Case Scenario 3: A patient returns from the last treatment with a new distal pain (e.g. sciatica when he was treated only for localized LBP, or brachialgia when he was treated only for local neck pain). The dotted lines demarcate a region of the chart outside of which management options were arbitrarily designated as ‘likely’ (upper line) or ‘unlikely’ (lower line) to be undertaken. In this instance, Swiss and UK chiropractors were likely to re-evaluate, send for imaging, and change the treatment approach; both groups were unlikely to continue the treatment until the patient is subluxation-free, stop and invite the patient to return as needed, stop and then monitor regularly or stop to apologise and report to the incident reporting system.
