Topic Overview
Rehabilitation programs are designed to help people recover from low
back pain problems. They teach people how to care for their backs and prevent
reinjury. They can also help people who have long-term (chronic) pain learn
ways to deal with their pain (and with situations that make pain worse). Types
of rehabilitation programs include:
- Pain clinics or pain management
programs.
- Back schools.
- Physical rehabilitation
programs.
- Sports medicine or rehabilitation programs.
These programs may be connected with a hospital, clinic, or medical
center.
