Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Right behind the common cold, low back pain is the second leading reason why people go to the doctor's office. But nine times out of 10, the pain will resolve on its own. Discover how a combination of practice guidelines and a special spine clinic to address unresolved back pain work to create better clinical and financial outcomes for one major health plan.
