An integrated approach to chronic pain management

In this session we consider the challenges with managing chronic pain. With every case the presentation differs and we need to take an individual approach, whilst adhering to some guiding principles. An accurate assessment is valuable to give us the best understanding about how to approach the solutions. Analgesic management, exercise and rehabilitation are key.

• Understand how to assess the pain
• Use diagnostic imaging and functional assessments support clinical findings
• Assess which pharmacological options may suit each case
