Summary

This trial aims to test new ways to increase the number of referrals from primary care doctors to chiropractic care for lower back pain in underserved communities. The strategies will be tested in three community health centers

Who is the study for?

What is being tested?
The study tests new ways to get more primary care doctors to refer patients with lower back pain to chiropractic treatments. It involves educational materials for patients and training seminars for doctors, plus changes in electronic health records.
What are the potential side effects?
