Musculoskeletal back and joint pain is common in rural agrarian communities in India. ⋯ A majority of the individuals with back and/or joint pain in rural Gadchiroli seek care, mainly from private practitioners. However, for the village-level treatment of this problem, respondents preferred a trained village level worker.
