Brief Summary

Complicated and expensive interventions are used to treat unspecific low back pain and the intervention is not always targeted the patients specific problems.It is therefore not surprising that a large fraction of unspecific low back pain patients do not respond very well to the usual biopsychosocial intervention. We would therefore like to identify the patients specific problems regarding the patients biomedical, psychological, and social needs.
