Low Back Pain - What's Next? Stratified Care Compared to Current Practice

"Patients are stratified according to the SBT subgroups (low, medium and high risk) and the appropriate matched intervention will be delivered accordingly.~Low risk: Reassuring information. Onwards referral, investigation or further treatment is not recommended Medium risk: In addition to reassuring information patients receive evidence based individualised treatment focusing on restoring function (targeting back pain, leg pain, co-morbid pain and disability) High risk : In addition to medium risk treatment patients will receive individualised psychologically informed physiotherapy aiming to reduce pain and disability."

Treatment based on clinical judgement, clinical need and patient preferences. No access to guidance tools.
