The Nordic Maintenance Care Program - Time intervals between treatments of patients with low back pain: how close and who decides?

摘要

BackgroundThe management of chiropractic patients with acute and chronic/persistent conditions probably differs. However, little is known on this subject. There is, for example, a dearth of information on maintenance care (MC). Thus it is not known if patients on MC are coerced to partake in a program of frequent treatments over a long period of time, or if they are actively involved in designing their own individualized treatment program.
