Part 2 of this 2-part series tackles the complex task of weaving together various nomenclature and clinical reasoning models into a coherent systematic approach for understanding how to best manage patients. Throughout this course, components of pain science, clinical guidelines, and traditional management theories will be synthesized. This second part specifically tackles acute and chronic low back pain, complex regional pain syndrome, and osteoarthritis. It should be utilized as a review on its own to assist with advanced patient management or as part of the OCS Prep series.
