About us:
The OPTIMUM Research Study hopes to find out if an 8-week group-based pain management program can help patients with chronic low back pain.
Our program is modeled on the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program which is now recommended for treating chronic low back pain by the American College of Physicians.
