Emergency and GP patients received care for back pain not in line with evidence-based guidelines (Williams et al., 2010).
Spinal surgeries estimated to be unnecessary (Stahel et al., 2017)




End The Cycle.
The Back and Neck Pain Burden is a reflection of health system inefficiencies that cost our economies billions and leave people confused, in chronic pain and misled down the path of poor treatment.
Low-value and inappropriate care has become the standard.
It is time for evidence-based solutions to improve outcomes for individuals, teams and organisations.

SpinalRisk Red Flag Checker For Neck and Back Pain
Do this simple check to see whether your neck or back pain is worth investigating with an X-Ray or MRI/CT scan for serious pathology such as fracture, spinal deformity, infection, cancer or neurological pathology.

How do we minimise unnecessary scans of the spine which then lead down the path of low-value treatments, patient confusion and even unnecessary surgeries?
Stuart has developed the SpinalRisk Checker which uses the latest evidence for serious spinal pathologies to determine whether neck or back pain is worthy of medical investigation.
While no tool is perfect, this hard copy checker is the first step in our development of a digital tool that can be used in any environment to gauge whether further medical investigation is warranted for the patient.
