Each professional decade brings new treatment golden arrows for clinicians to embrace and implement when treating patients with
persistent pain. Often these tools fall short as means for revolutionary results and are prematurely abandoned in response to
misdirected utilization. This presentation will discuss the integration of orthopaedic manual therapy, sensorimotor control strategies,
biopsychosocial skillsets, pain science education, and medical intervention to explore solutions for redirecting patients’ persistent
pain experiences.
