The definition of pain and why has it changed over time
Does reassurance help or hinder in the treatment of pain?
Reassurance is a frequently advocated as a component of patient care in the treatment of pain and is included in many national practice guidelines for musculoskeletal pain management. Reassurance is usually recommended on the basis of an implicit conceptualisation model that assumes that information presented to patients effectively corrects mistaken beliefs about the nature or […]
Tackling Pain in People Living With HIV/AIDS
Pain management doesn’t end with medication. Education, empowerment and self-care are equally important factors in effective pain management. Pain is very common in people living with HIV, with self-reported pain rates across different settings ranging from 35% up to 91%.1 While there is evidence supporting a relationship between increased pain and decreasing CD4+ T cell […]
Placebo: the Meaning Response

The ability to produce specific treatment effects that intervene directly with the presenting dysfunction or pathology is the conventional aim of health care practice, and maximising these effects is […]

SIJ dysfunction is often addressed using manipulation techniques, usually involving the application of manual forces to the joint complex. Considering the fact many of these […]

No other topic engenders the degree of debate, controversy, defence or criticism that a discussion of Osteopathy in the Cranial Field (OCF) will invariably spark. In fact, a recent study published by myself and three French colleagues resulted in […]
Mechanical or inflammatory low back pain. What are the potential signs and symptoms?
Non-specific low back pain (NS-LBP) is commonly conceptualised, categorised and treated as inflammatory and/or mechanical in nature. There is no universally accepted definition for mechanical or inflammatory LBP, however, there is evidence to support the involvement of both mechanical and inflammatory factors in its generation. Following from this nosological separation, there are two distinct approaches […]
Diagnosing myofascial trigger points: A critical review of the evidence and clinical implications.
Myofascial trigger points (MTPs) are routinely diagnosed and treated by clinicians in many musculoskeletal health disciplines. MTPs have been associated with numerous clinical conditions and prevalence studies claim that they may account for 30-85% of patients complaining of regional muscular pain.1 Despite the widespread acceptance of MTPs as an important clinical entity the diagnosis of […]
