Behind the Scenes of Back Pain with Professor Alice Kongsted: Insights from Cutting-Edge Research

Is there someone who has not experienced back pain once in their life? 🤔In this episode, we are joined by Alice Kongsted, Professor at the University of Southern Denmark Unit of Clinical Biomechanics. We discuss back pain and how it influences people's lives. We then dive into the world of painkillers and how they affect people's pain perception (do they really work?). And finally, we talk about clinicians' role in understanding people's back pain from different perspectives.🌐🔬Here, you can find Alice Kongsted's research papersWhat is back pain and why we should pay attention to it?
