OT, Pain, and The Biopsychosocial Model

I'm sure we all have people in our lives (or, at least on our caseloads) who suffer from chronic pain.This week's article explores chronic low back pain (LBP) and the biopsychosocial approach. You might feel a bit of deja vu, as we're finding again that a multi-faceted approach seems to work best to get results in healthcare—and, in my opinion, a multidisciplinary approach for LBP should likely include occupational therapy.To discuss this research further, please sign up for The OT Potential Club.
