- Abstract
- Rational: When psychosocial risk factors that predict an increased likelihood of a patient developing or maintaining chronic pain are identified, what then? Cognitive behavioural Therapy had been identified as an effective method for dealing with these factors. Both NICE and European guidelines for chronic lower back pain recommend CBT as an effective measure to be applied. This study asks what barriers there are to osteopaths seeking to apply them. Method: Cross sectional postal questionnaire. Results: Osteopaths found access to CBT neither difficult nor easy. Barriers are experienced through a) lack of patients and osteopath’s education around CBT, and how it can help chronic pain; b) Lack of resources: available therapists and patients funding to pay for private therapy. Conclusion: At this stage it appears there are several barriers to Osteopaths applying these guidelines, not least their own need for training.
