3 Chronic Pain Numbers Epidemiological data suggest that chronic, widespread, nonspecific musculoskeletal pain is on the rise, especially in the area of chronic low back pain(clbp), adding to the ever increasing costs of health care (Magni et al, 1993; McMahon and Koltzenburg, 2005). The prevalence of chronic pain was 35.5% (Raftery, Sarma et al. 2011) We all practice a bio-psycho-social approach right? Example 1 What is this? How long will it take? What do you want the patient to do? What should the patient NOT do? What will you as the clinician be doing for this? Example 2 What is this? How long will it take? What do you want the patient to do? What should the patient NOT do? What will you as the clinician be doing for this?

Pathoanatomy These models are very prevalent Prevailing biomedical models focus on tissues and tissue injury.(houben, Ostelo et al. 2005; Henrotin, Cedraschi et al. 2006; Weiner 2008) Orthopedic-based professions such physical therapy commonly use anatomy and patho-anatomy based models to explain pain to their patients. (Houben, Ostelo et al. 2005; Henrotin, Cedraschi et al. 2006; Spoto and Collins 2008; Weiner 2008) Research into anatomy, biomechanical and pathoanatomy models Not only have these models shown limited efficacy in decreasing pain and disability, but they may increase fear in patients, which in turn, may increase their pain.(greene, Appel et al. 2005; Morr, Shanti et al. 2010) Research into anatomy, biomechanical and pathoanatomy models Degenerative terms Wear and tear Deterioration Disc space loss Crumbling Collapsing without permission 5
