Summary

The goal of this two-group randomized trial is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of a remotely-delivered health coaching intervention offered in conjunction with usual care for patients with an acute exacerbation of chronic low back pain who present to the emergency department (ED).

The main questions this feasibility trial aims to answer are:

* Is our health coaching intervention and randomized trial methodology feasible to conduct?
* Is our health coaching intervention acceptable to participants and ED providers?

Participants will be randomized to one of two groups (usual ED care plus health coaching or usual ED care plus education) and complete outcome assessments at 3 and 6 months after ED discharge. Participants and ED providers will also complete an interview.
