Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare two different ways to treat chronic low back pain. The two types of treatment that the investigators will compare are called Usual Care and ABC Care. Usual Care tends to focus on the spine. ABC Care focuses on the entire body and the mind. With Usual Care, participants will work with their own doctor to come up with a treatment plan. With ABC Care, participants will work with the investigators' ABC providers and their team. The investigators believe ABC Care will help reduce pain, lower costs, and increase participants' ability to do the things they enjoy doing better than Usual Care. In ABC Care the investigators hope to avoid treatments like surgeries where participants get metal rods put in their back. This research is being done at three Veterans Hospitals: the Veterans Administration of Pittsburgh Healthcare System (VAPHS) in Pittsburgh, PA; the North Texas VA Medical Center in Dallas, TX; and the Hunter Holmes McGuire VA Medical Center in Richmond, VA. This research study is being paid for by the Rehabilitation Research and Development section of the Veterans Health Administration. The investigators will be enrolling about 450 participants at 3 sites or around 150 at each site.
