Functional Restoration Program (FRP) at Dartmouth-Hitchcock

The Functional Restoration Program (FRP) is a 14-weekday rehabilitation program for chronic spine pain sufferers that aims to increase physical functioning, improve pain-coping skills, promote the return to a productive lifestyle at home or at work, and limit the need for future spine treatments. The program is provided by the Spine Center at Dartmouth-Hitchcock

After completing the program, participants have functional re-testing sessions at four weeks, four months and twelve months out. The classes are held at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Heater Road facility in Lebanon, NH.

"It's very exciting for me, as a physician, to actually step back from my role as a doctor and witness people getting better with a model that, frankly, is not made of pills and shots and surgeries, but is really a matter of people helping each other and helping themselves to get back so they can do the things they want to do through fairly simple training techniques they can learn," said Rowland G. Hazard, MD, the FRP's medical director.
