Introduction

Low back pain is the leading cause of disability in most countries. Numerous classification systems are used to manage pain and improve function, including the treatment-based classification (TBC) system. This validated system is designed to help clinicians make treatment decisions based on a patient's clinical presentation. It triages patients with back pain into three treatment groups: medical management, rehabilitation management and self-care management. Within the rehabilitation category, there are three specific management approaches. This course provides a detailed discussion of the TBC system. It also briefly discusses three other commonly used classification systems.
