The guidance from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence is aimed at bringing down waiting lists.
Online apps have been recommended to help people with lower back pain in a bid to tackle NHS waiting lists.
UK Health Security Agency figures show there are 9.11 million people living with long-term back pain in England. On Thursday, it emerged that a record 7.75 million people in England were waiting to start NHS treatment at the end of August. “We believe these technologies have the potential to offer value for money for the taxpayer, while offering people with low back pain quicker access to get the care they need at a time and place of their choosing.”
The platforms offer access to multi-disciplinary teams, along with guided exercise videos, and reminder functions for patients to do tasks such as filling in questionnaires. “This will help to reduce pressures on the NHS and can help to cut waiting lists – one of the government’s top priorities – and will help people to live happier, healthier lives.”
