Research-driven approaches to improve quality and costs across the continuum of back pain.

Better Patient Outcomes

Each component of Operation FastBack’s evidence-based approach has been shown to improve patient outcomes.

  • FastBack Chronic has uncovered the complex relationships between physical deconditioning, psychiatric disease and social dysfunction that can be successfully treated when an approach to pain alone will fail.
  • The core of our FastBack Subacute program decreased back surgery by 30%, while our experience at Michigan showed substantial improved efficiency for collaborating surgeons.
  • FastBack Emergency provides a platform for primary care therapy and physiatry referrals as well as emergency department referrals. Even better, the streamlined access to our special therapy protocol and physiatry has been shown to decrease returns to the ER while detecting disease and decreasing narcotic prescriptions.
  • FastBack Prevention successfully penetrated both the general public and the medical community of three Michigan communities with messaging about appropriate care.
