💥 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.

📊 What this study found (see graphic):
• Some labels (e.g., whiplash-associated disorder, post-traumatic neck pain, neck pain) more frequently trigger negative feelings & psychological distress.
• “Neck pain” most commonly promoted need for passive care & imaging
• “Neck strain” least commonly evoked negative feelings while most commonly encouraged exercise

💡 Clinicians may consider avoiding labels that linked with negative beliefs and lower guideline-recommended care.

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: https://t.co/jVQcwTHBpW
