Quick question...

I understand that the mechanical diagnosis and therapy approach to back pain is less focused on the anatomic and is more driven by symptom pattern and clinical response.

However, my question is have their been studies to correlate pain descriptors used in MDT (i.e. inflammatory, ischemic, peripheral neurogenic, central sensitivity) with radiologic studies? I know you don't need the studies because they will not change the treatment but it would be interesting to know if there have been such studies.

Thanks!

Fozzy,

I think that Laslet did something like this quite a while back. I will see if I can dug up a reference.
