๐Ÿ’ฅ New research out now! Different labels for neck pain after a motor vehicle crash can influence how people feel, what they expect, and the treatments they prefer. ๐Ÿ“Š What this study found (see graphic): โ€ข Some labels (e.g., whiplash-associated disorder, post-traumatic neck pain, neck pain) more frequently trigger negative feelings & psychological distress. โ€ข โ€œNeck painโ€ most commonly promoted need for passive care & imaging โ€ข โ€œNeck strainโ€ least commonly evoked negative feelings while most commonly encouraged exercise ๐Ÿ’ก Clinicians may consider avoiding labels that linked with negative beliefs and lower guideline-recommended care. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Read the full study: doi.org/10.1016/j.msksp.2025โ€ฆ #NeckPain #Whiplash #PainScience #HealthCommunication #MVC #ClinMed #Pain #DiagnosticLabel

I'm not sure there is a more productive group of PT researchers in the world, than in Spain. They consistently have something published or in the works. Here is a recent paper in @MSKPhysioJnl Reference is here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4015โ€ฆ

๐Ÿ” New Research Alert! ๐Ÿ” ๐Ÿ“ข Key Finding: Physically inactive older adults are more likely to experience severe pain, while other lifestyle factors play a weaker role. โœจ Why it matters?
