One of the things that I wanted
to start talking to you about is a little bit about what does the physician do when you go
to him or her with LBP. They will usually tell you if you just have acute LBP, exercise or
maybe physical therapy, keeping active – not too active – but keeping active; no bed
rest these days. One of the things most people want is for the physician to treat the
pain. And one of the big expenses in regard to LBP, particularly with the UPMC Health Plan
and I assume with all other health plans is the pharmaceutical treatment of LBP. |
