@PhysioMeScience My understanding is that patients want pain control, functional restoration and quality of life. I think we make a mistake if we think chronic pain is not modifiable. It is for many - have we given up on pain control? And I don’t mean drugs.
@PeteOSullivanPT @kjartanfersum @PhysioMeScience Agree. There is a lot of evidence that "chronic" pain is not forever. People with long-lasting pain can improve on pain measures
