**Become part of the future of Musculoskeletal (MSK) care**:
Musculoskeletal (MSK) Rapid Access Clinics (RACs) have been successfully implemented across the province to help people with MSK pain access the right treatment faster. This work stems from the successful pilot program: Inter-professional Spine Assessment and Education Clinics (ISAEC) for low back pain.
Rapid Access Clinic for Low Back Pain (RAC-LBP) is an innovative, upstream, shared-care model of care in which patients receive rapid low back pain assessment, education and evidence-based self-management plans. It is designed to decrease the prevalence of unmanageable chronic low back pain, reduce opioid initiation, and reduce unnecessary diagnostic imaging as well as unnecessary specialist referral. The low back pain RAC is specifically for patients with: (1) persistent low back pain and/or related symptoms (e.g. sciatica, neurogenic claudication) 6 weeks to 12 months post-onset; and (2) recurrent/episodic unmanageable low back pain and/or related symptoms of less than 12 months post-recurrence.
