RAC Low Back

RAPID ACCESS CLINIC LOW BACK PAIN

                                                                                                 


RAC LOW BAck is an innovative, upstream, shared-care model of care in which patients receive rapid low back pain assessment (less than four weeks on average), education and evidence-based self-management plans. It is designed to decrease the prevalence of unmanageable chronic low back pain, reduce unnecessary diagnostic imaging as well as unnecessary specialist referral.

In April 2018, the RAC Low Back Program began rolling out across Ontario in a phased approach as part of the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care's exciting vision for musculoskeletal care. During this expansion services may not be immediately available in your area. Nonetheless, your Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) is diligently working to make this program available for all patients that meet the program criteria. 

It is important to also note that until RAC Low Back is fully rolled out to all primary care providers (PCPs), referral into the program is only available to patients whose family doctor or primary care nurse practitioner has enrolled in the program. 

We appreciate your patience and continued interest in this program. 

The RAC Low Back Program is funded by the Government of Ontario.
