Abstract

OBJECTIVE

Low back pain (LBP) is the top health condition requiring rehabilitation in the United States. The financial burden of managing LBP is also amongst the highest in the United States. Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) provide management recommendations and have the potential to lower health costs. Limited evidence exists on the impact of CPG implementation on downstream medical costs.
