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

Our Operation FastBack spine care products address healthcare hotpoints.

Surgery has its place in about 5% of back pain cases, but when it fails or is not appropriate, a chronic pain patient can get into serious trouble with work, family, drugs, and emotional problems. Health plans and healthcare systems can contract with Haig Consulting to lead change. We instruct non-surgical leaders and their teams about Operation FastBack processes, then act as a coach and quality improvement partner to ensure that the system sees sustainable benefits.

We partner with back specialists to lead all non-surgical aspects of spine care and implement our four research-based protocols:

  • FastBack Prevention – Working with clinics and communities to educate the public about how taking care of their backs saves pain and money down the line.
  • Fastback Emergency – Working with emergency departments to implement appropriate care for non-emergency back issues.
  • FastBack Subacute – Working with health systems to optimize non-surgical back care.
  • FastBack Chronic Pain – Working with clinical leaders to develop successful approaches to ongoing back pain concerns.
