		<description><![CDATA[We just came across a fancy patient information form that was given to a patient after an assessment by a clinician. The form just blew our minds (but not in a good way) because it seemed to be the perfect clinical tool for generating ongoing pain and disability, and all by the simple process of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When my daughter hurts herself, her placebo of choice is a “magic kiss”. This therapeutic intervention must be applied with care specific to the area of injury. Anecdotal evidence suggests that it is very effective. I use placebo freely at home but is it right to do this in the clinic? In a recent post [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So the World Cup justifiably goes to Spain and it seems that Paul, the now world famous psychic octopus, predicted the results.  In fact Paul demonstrated a seemingly legendary clairvoyant ability.  Wikipedia informs us that he predicted the outcome of all of Germany’s games and the final with unerring accuracy. You may not have realised [...]]]></description>

Everyone is an expert, clinicians and patients alike and there are a whole host of accepted truths about back pain that we all cling on to. Ideas that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Acupuncture is all the rage in the treatment of pain. Recent clinical guidelines in the UK recommend it in the treatment of persistent back pain. This decision is somewhat controversial and has led to much discussion, because while the research in back pain suggests people feel somewhat better after acupuncture, it also demonstrates with clarity [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Research has just produced results in chronic back pain that can only be described as amazing. The temptation is to say “unbelievable”. This trial published in the worlds premier pain journal is accompanied by an editorial with the headline “A cure for back pain?” by Professor Nikolai Bogduk. If you think that headline is an attention grabber (although note the question mark), the results of the trial are even more so.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Brain imaging studies are often both fascinating and frustrating in equal measure. They shine a light on activity patterns within the brain that occur during various aspects of behaviour, movement and perception. The problem comes when we try to negotiate the minefield of drawing conclusions. Acupuncture is a widely used and advocated treatment for pain [...]]]></description>

Normally when you are going to wave your arm or leg the deep spinal muscles kick in just beforehand, perhaps to provide stability.  In back pain the activity of some of the deep back muscles is delayed in response to spine and [...]]]></description>
