Description

In this episode, we'll be discussing an issue that affects millions of people globally - low back pain. We will find out why the burden of low back pain is so high, why current management is so ineffective, what we can do from a research and care perspective to improve outcomes for patients, and whether prevention is the way forward. 

We’ll also discuss a couple of papers that have been recently published in The Lancet Rheumatology looking at longer-term treatment options for low back pain, and how useful they are.
