Musculoskeletal Pain – Assessment Prediction and Treatment presents a common sense approach to interpreting and applying existing clinical knowledge and new research to help clinicians make sense of the complex phenomena of acute and chronic post-traumatic musculoskeletal pain. Built upon the Assess Predict Treat framework the authors offer a method to help clinicians better understand their patients pain. They present evidence-based decision tools to predict the natural and clinical course of common conditions such as neck and low back pain and they then synthesize that information into a logical integrated treatment approach which respects the individuality of the patient the experiences of the clinician and the value of evidence-informed practice. David Walton and James Elliott are leaders in the field of post-traumatic pain and recovery. Their work provides a valuable framework to facilitate novice clinicians in their transition towards experts and helps mid- and late-stage clinicians better interpret synthesize and discuss complex information on pain with the goal of optimised outcomes for patients.
