Low back pain can have negative secondary consequences on dancers\u2019 lives and careers. Still how LBP impacts dancer function and medical care-seeking behaviors and whether these issues differ across dance genres, is understudied.<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Two hundred and eight-nine ballet, modern, and hip-hop dancers and teachers (median age: 20.3 years; range: 18 to 69 years) in the United States completed an online 24-question survey assessing LBP related self-reported injury history, impact on their lives, and management strategies. We defined LBP as occurrence of acute or chronic pain in the lumbar or sacral regions of the back.<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Two hundred and fifty-seven participants (88.9% of 289 total) reported at least one instance of LBP during their lifetime and 220 participants reported LBP in the prior 4 weeks. Of these 220, 72 (32.7%) had LBP severe enough to limit their activities of daily living. Of the 213 who had LBP and danced during that time, 89 (41.8%) reported that LBP limited their dancing. Pain intensity (median: 4 on a O to 10 scale, IQR: 3.0) and LBP prevalence were similar across dance genres. Dancers sought multiple medical professionals, most often chiropractors (n = 94, 33.8%), medical doctors (n = 77, 27.7%), and physiotherapists (n = 60, 21.6%). Ninety dancers (35.0% of those with LBP) never sought medical care. Dancers who did seek care reported higher pain intensities (median: 4, IQR: 3.8) than those who did not (median: 3, IQR: 3.0).<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Overall, most participants did suffer from LBP. Low back pain negatively impacts dancers\u2019 everyday activities and dancing. Pain intensity and loss of function may impact care-seeking. Our findings highlight the need for all dance stakeholders to educate dancers about their health, provide resources for dancer health care, and proactively create an environment that supports injury reporting behaviors in dancers.<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.12678\/1089-313x.091522d","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,13]],"date-time":"2022-06-13T21:05:30Z","timestamp":1655154330000},"page":"173-180","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Perceived Severity and Management of Low Back Pain in Adult Dancers in the United States"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Erica D.","family":"Henn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Human Sciences, University of Wolverhampton, United Kingdom."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tina","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Human Sciences, University of Wolverhampton, United Kingdom."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jatin P.","family":"Ambegaonkar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sports Medicine Assessment, Research, and Testing Laboratory, George Mason University, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matthew A.","family":"Wyon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Human Sciences, University of Wolverhampton, United Kingdom."},{"name":"National Institute of Dance Medicine and Science, United Kingdom."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9]]},"reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"e_1_2_1_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"796","DOI":"10.1007\/s00586-017-5432-9","article-title":"The Global Spine Care Initiative: a summary of the global burden.","volume":"27","author":"Hurwitz EL","year":"2018","unstructured":"Hurwitz EL, Randhawa K, Yu H, .
