title: Effective services for the care of patients with back pain.
abstract: For the majority of patients with back pain the traditional medical model of care is not effective. For patients without any serious underlying pathology a biopsychosocial model of care, comprising education, relaxation, exercise and analgesia, is now advocated, as practiced by multidisciplinary teams such as the Nottingham Back Team.
