Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedics
  • Pain Medicine
  • Psychosomatic Medicine

Context:

  • Monodisciplinary orthopaedic pain therapy is inadequate by international standards.
  • Chronic back pain presents a significant disconnect between clinical findings and patient-reported symptoms.
  • Patients risk somatic fixation and irreversible harm from overly somatic or invasive treatments.

Purpose:

  • To highlight the limitations of current orthopaedic pain therapy.
  • To advocate for the integration of psychosocial factors in pain assessment and management.
  • To emphasize the need for revised medical training and practice guidelines.

Summary:

  • Chronic back pain management is failing due to a narrow, biologically focused approach.
  • Psychosocial factors are often overlooked, leading to misdiagnosis and inappropriate invasive treatments.
