Introduction
The global burden of neck pain is increasing with the number of reported cases increasing by 21% over the last 10 years. There is often no known patho-anatomical cause for neck pain, so the term “non-specific neck pain” has grown in popularity. However, according to Professor Gwendolen Jull, there are inherent risks in using this terminology. This course will explore these risks and highlight the importance of selecting specific treatments for neck pain in order to reduce the burden of this condition.
Aims
This course aims to discuss non-specific neck pain and suggest ways to reduce the burden of this condition by discussing specific, evidence-based interventions.
