[Clinical pathway - conservative back pain treatment].
Back pain is a very common clinical picture. The causes are often not only somatic, which generally has led to a biopsychosocial understanding of this disease. Therefore, it is necessary to employ a multimodal treatment approach to achieve effective and longer-lasting relief. Such a concept requires the cooperation of multiple disciplines in a sophisticated and strongly organized manner. In our clinic we have developed a clinical pathway for conservative back pain treatment that avoids the use of too much time by careful coordination of the therapy elements. It has proven to be a successful tool for the efficient treatment of patients with primarily somatically caused back pain. The following article describes this clinical pathway.
