Overall, awareness of RFs for LBP and referring critical patients who present with LBP is good among PHC physicians in the Jazan Region. Junior physicians have a low threshold to request images. The referral rate for nonspecific LBP is still high, which could overwhelm spinal clinics. Further educational programs for back pain management are recommended.
