Effective services for the care of patients with back pain.
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.
