title: Early management of patients with back pain.
abstract: Early effective management of acute back pain reduces the likelihood of chronicity and disability occurring. Multidisciplinary team working greatly enhances the potential for early resolution of symptoms and return to normal activities. Good quality referral from primary care using CSAG guidelines helps clinicians in secondary care to accurately categorise and prioritise care.
