A new campaign supported by The Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust is helping people look after their backs better.
In the UK, the annual total cost attributable to low back pain has been estimated at £12.3billion. Low back pain is also the leading cause of work absence throughout much of the world, imposing a high economic burden on governments, families and the individuals themselves.
Seeking a new approach, The Walton Centre, which specialises in spinal surgery, has got together with partners from the NHS, third sector and patients, to form a collaboration and a programme of work called the Neuro Network (Vanguard).
One of their projects is to support health professionals to use the National Back Pain Pathway (guidance from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) and to launch a Cheshire and Merseyside Back Pain Campaign to inform the public about the best things to do when they experience back pain.
