Nociplastic Pain Algorithm Using FMS Principles

Written by David Ogilbee SFMA

Chronic pain affects a multitude of people across the U.S. and world.  FMS principles and chiefly the SFMA provide a means to guide the focus of treatment for individuals with musculoskeletal dysfunction.  But how do FMS principles assist with the complex pain case? 

In this presentation, Dr. David Ogilbee, an FMS Fellow, discusses the utility of FMS principles with patients who have complex pain diagnosis, providing a proposed algorithm for assisting with a diagnosis of nociplastic pain versus other musculoskeletal issues.

    Great case studies. Very interesting topic, honestly a category that has not crossed my mind but with your information I will certainly be looking and implementing the algorithm. Thank you for this presentation. Well done!
