Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most common and challenging conditions in clinical practice, with diverse aetiologies requiring nuanced approaches. In this EFIC webinar, two experts will explore and compare the diagnosis and management of non-specific LBP and facet joint syndrome. Through clinical insights, case-based discussion, and audience Q&A, we will highlight key similarities, differences, and opportunities for multidisciplinary collaboration to improve patient outcomes.
Join us as researchers unveil the long-term societal and economic burden of chronic pain, featuring findings from The costs of chronic pain—long-term estimates (Eur J Pain, Jan 2024), covering impacts on quality of life, work productivity, and healthcare costs. This will be followed by a presentation on the SIP Book of Evidence, a powerful advocacy tool designed for policymakers outlining pain prevalence, stigma, and policy recommendations, and the newly released SIP Position Paper on Preventive Healthcare for Chronic Pain. The session will conclude with a live Q&A.
