Overview: Chronic pain affects 20% of people in the United States, and chronic low back pain is the most common cause of chronic pain. Although some treatments can reduce the severity of the pain, the persistence of chronic low back pain is a source of frustration for both patients and clinicians. Join us to discuss how behavioral and psychological therapy should be part of the treatment for chronic low back pain and how new approaches may be much more effective than existing therapies.
