Dave and Rob are talking about diagnostic labels and particularly those for lower back pain
Lower back pain is a complex and multifactorial condition and a specific diagnosis may not reflect the underlying causes or mechanisms for the pain so does a specific label help or hinder?
This is a learning episode where the discussion is a great opportunity to carefully consider what you do as a clinician with the evolution of diagnostic labelling

BEST MOMENTS
‘Our previous notion of a single answer to find is a bit immature’
