Abstract_ Background Back problems are often recurring or chronic. It is therefore not surprising that chiropractors wish to prevent their return or reduce their impact. This is often attempted with a long-term treatment strategy commonly called maintenance care. However some aspects of maintenance care are considered controversial.
