Back pain is a common presenting condition in physiotherapy practice. The majority of patients will be classified as having non-specific mechanical back pain. However, it is essential to be able to identify patients who fall outside of this category, including those whose back pain is inflammatory in origin. This course, the second in a series of courses on spondyloarthropathy, will introduce evidence-based methods to help you to distinguish between these different types of back pain.
Aims
The aim of this course is to enable you to differentiate between mechanical and inflammatory back pain.
