About the Session
Musculoskeletal SIG Symposium
There is a growing awareness of the adverse impact of musculoskeletal pain on wellbeing, healthy aging, disability, and economic stress. This symposium will highlight International efforts for strategic changes addressing the burden of MSK disorders and recent research that shifts our understanding of MSK function, dysfunction, and prevention of treatment.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize and discuss reasons why international policy on musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction are important
- Name non-pharmacologic interventions which reduce body-wide inflammation
- Discuss reasons why pain practitioners need to develop skills for diagnosing connective tissue abnormalities
