Abstract
Chronic musculoskeletal pain is a major health problem affecting a quarter of the population [1], accounting for around a quarter of GP consultations [2]. It has large direct and indirect health care costs, with most available financial data focusing on back pain. In 1998 physical treatments for back pain cost the UK almost £500 million [physiotherapy £251 million (£151 million NHS), osteopathy £173 million and chiropractic £69 million] [3].Keywords
