Chronic low back pain threatens self-identity, as it can change coping patterns and the individual’s way of thinking, with people often reporting feelings of helplessness and a loss of self-esteem and experience of a hidden disability. When low back pain becomes chronic, it often does not respond to traditional biomedical treatments. Identification of psychosocial risk factors, or ‘yellow flags’, enable appropriate intervention to be incorporated into vocational rehabilitation treatment as a preventative measure against conditions such as chronic low back pain. Yellow flags are factors that increase the risk of developing or perpetuating long-term disability and work loss associated with low back pain. Assessment of these is encouraged in the early stages of intervention after work related injury. <o:p></o:p>
