Royal College of Chiropractors Pain Faculty LIVE Webinar Series

Moving beyond ‘body region silos’ to manage musculoskeletal pain: Actions to change clinical practice

WEBINAR 1: PROVIDING WHOLE-PERSON, TEAM-BASED CARE

EVENT OUTLINE

In this live webinar, Professor Jan Hartvigsen will discuss new developments and research in the care of people with musculoskeletal complaints. His point of departure will be a newly published editorial in British Journal of Sports Medicine, “It is time to move beyond the “body region silos” to manage musculoskeletal pain: Five actions to change clinical practice” that he co-authored with an international multidisciplinary group of experts.  He will focus on the five key messages in the paper: 1. Screen for biopsychosocial factors and health comorbidities; 2. Embrace patient-centered communication; 3. What do you think you need to achieve your goals? 4. Educate beyond words using active learning approaches; 5. Coach towards self-management. The seminar will conclude with a question and answer session.
