Back pain has been a major healthcare concern among the general culture, long before it became a major workers' compensation expenditure. Therein lie the problem and beginnings of a solution. A great opportunity is available to employers who proactively confront back injuries by training employees in self-management skills. Some proactive employers have seized this opportunity. Of course, our compensation rate has also dropped.

This is not asking for trouble. This is asking for a report of trouble that already exists . Employers must welcome early reports of pain and employers must respond quickly to these reports with solutions. This promotes early intervention procedures and meets employees' desires for a responsive work environment. Since employers typically provide health benefits for employees and their families, it makes sense to encourage family members to also report back pain .
