Spinal Pain Patients' Beliefs about Pain and Physiotherapy

The lay public's medical knowledge is acquired from three sources: the lay consultation and referral service, the media, and the practitioner. Satisfaction with and continued utilization of a health care service may depend on congruence between patients' beliefs about the cause of illness and practitioners' conditions of care. The results of a recent survey indicate that the information to which patients with spinal pain had access, was inadequate for them to acquire accurate knowledge of the basis for their pain and physiotherapists' conditions of care. It is suggested that more accurate information on the mechanisms of spinal pain, volunteered by physiotherapists during the encounter, would be in the interests of the lay public and the physiotherapy profession.

Chronic pain in primary care

Chronic pain is a very common cause of suffering, disability and economic adversity in the community. It is a complex problem that needs to be understood in a multi-dimensional way for effective management. Most research to date has been based in specialist clinics rather than in primary care, with consequently limited findings. Chronic pain differs from acute pain in that management follows a rehabilitative rather than a treatment model, though these are not mutually exclusive. Full assessment of the patient, preferably multi-disciplinary, will improve his or her outlook. Management should be holistic, rigorous in the application of conventional therapies (including analgesics and physical therapy) and ready to admit an improved understanding of psychological and social techniques. There may be a role for complementary therapies. As a large proportion of chronic pain presents only in the community, there may be a role for greater primary care input to management.
