An investigation of biological and psychosocial prognostic predictors in neck pain and whiplash associated disorders
I was proud to be invited to present at the Royal College of Chiropractors (RCC) AGM & Winter Conference, January 2019, on my RCC Early Career Postdoctoral Fellowship funded research. This is a part-time project over three years entitled, ‘An investigation of biological and psychosocial prognostic predictors in neck pain and whiplash associated disorders’.
Presenting at RCC AGM and Winter Conference 2019
This study will investigate the role of cervical inter-vertebral motion sharing and disc generation in neck pain; determine any change in motion sharing in patients with neck pain who underwent spinal manipulative therapy (and relationship with patient-reported outcomes); determine the psychosocial variables routinely collected in chiropractic practice that are prognostic for neck pain and whiplash-associated disorders; and determine additional psychosocial variables that ought to be routinely collected. If you’d like to find out more about this exciting study, please go here to watch a recording of my 12 minute presentation. Thank you to my collaborators on this research: Professor Alan Breen and Dr Alex Breen of the Centre for Biomechanics Research, AECC University College, and Dr Jonathan Field, Back2Health.
