Integration of care

The future of health care is dependent upon the cooperation between the various professions that offer non-surgical care in the treatment of low back pain.

Health care consumers are becoming more demanding with respect to the type and quality of health care service they receive. For this, as well as other reasons, a new market is developing where health care providers are integrating into multi-disciplinary groups to provide the consumer with a multi-professional approach to their health care issues in one location.
