A Descriptive Analysis of Back Pain Patient's Seeking Care at Chiropractic Academic Teaching Clinics Using the STarT Back Screening Tool: Cross-sectional Survey and Chart Review

Keele STarT Back SCreening Tool (KSB) is a practical and validated bio-psychosocial
questionnaire that stratifies lower back pain patients into 3 risk groups (low, medium,
high), with suggested treatment guidelines for each grouping. The 9-question KSB has been
used in chiropractic practice to help guide medical decision making, but its use in
chiropractic teaching environments has been limited.

All new LBP patients between the ages of 18-65 years presenting to a chiropractic teaching
clinic in Dallas, TX between March 05, 2018 and April 06, 2018 were asked to complete the KSB
questionnaire. No introduction of the KSB was given to students or faculty. For all patients
that completed the KSB, a chart review of the first 4 weeks of care was completed to retrieve
patient follow-up information and treatment provided, including: self-reported LBP on a
10-point numerical rating scale (NRS), region of spinal manipulation therapy (SMT), and
active rehabilitation provided.
