As practitioners, you are aware of the complexities that can be related to dealing with spinal pain disorders. 

In order to manage pain originating from the spine it is helpful to have a good understanding of the research findings related to:

1. The different types of pain 
2. The possible sources of pain 
3. The mechanisms of symptom production 
4. The use and limitations of radiographic findings 
5. The specific questions to be asked 
6. The specific tests to be applied
7. The mechanisms and effects of other interventions, medical or otherwise

An appropriate treatment strategy is then developed from analysis of this information.

"A carpenter can use all the tools of carpentry but at any one moment uses the tool that seems appropriate for the situation" (Edward De Bono)
