Choose a Best Choice Provider to treat low back pain

Not all providers treat patients with the same quality of care. When you are living with low back pain, it's important to choose a provider who has proven expertise and successful results.

But it's difficult to know how to find an exceptional provider on your own.

In an initiative led by the State of Minnesota and the Joint Labor Management Committee on Health Plans, your three health plans have worked together to evaluate and identify the following providers as Best Choice Providers. These providers have demonstrated their experience, knowledge and ability to obtain successful outcomes.

Whether you are looking for physical therapy for short-term pain or long-term pain, pain management or injection therapy, here are the programs and providers we recommend you choose.

If a provider in your area is not listed, if you want to know more about a specific provider or if you would like help finding a provider for a different specialty, call AHA at 1-877-242-0111 or 952-883-5127.
