A word that ignites a cascade of thoughts and emotions in a person, often formulating as questions that are specific and situational to the individual. For example: Clinician: Joint or muscle? Disc or neural tension? Movement patterns or structural lesion? Athlete: Season ending? Same thing as teammate’s/professional athlete’s? Scholarship jeopardized? Patient: Copay cost and insurance coverage? Time off from work? Old age?   The answers to these questions undoubtedly play a role in the success or failure of an individual’s rehabilitation, and as such it becomes paramount that the clinician considers any and all physical *or mental* restrictions. With the growing accessibility of diagnostic tests, diagnostic websites, and diagnostic friends/family, the practitioner faces the challenge of not only delivering successful interventions, but also guiding the patient’s cognitive state as they become overwhelmed with input. Fortunately, in the last 20-30 years we have seen an increased availability of information that can facilitate this type of high quality comprehensive patient care that encompasses both physical and psychological medicine.  It is my personal belief that education in academia, in conjunction with numerous resources for continued knowledge, equips the AT/PT/Chiro/etc, with almost all the necessary physical skills to treat someone in pain.  However in regards to formal education, the same thing cannot be said about the required understanding of the neurophysiology of pain, including it’s psychosocial contributions. Now, it is WAY outside my scope to attempt to educate my colleagues in the complexities of neuroscience and pain modulation. Rather, my goal is to highlight the importance of pain education within our professional development, and within our everyday patient interactions.   Surely we have all heard of the phenomenon “phantom pain,” where a person with a recent (or chronic) limb amputation continues to experience pain in the absence of his extremity. And surely we have heard of the opposite phenomenon, where a person takes significant physical damage to their body yet reports no symptoms at the time of insult.  From these two examples, we can convincingly agree that pain is not simply an input from peripheral structures, but rather an output of a central processor (Melzack 2001).  Scientific evidence that dispels structural pathologies as definitive pain sources is a study done in 2007, when images were taken of tennis players who have disc herniations, spondylolisthesis and stress reactions, yet were asymptomatic (Alyas 2007).   Looking conversely, I’m sure we could all provide cases where patients complained of significant pain, were sent out for imagining and returned with normal findings. This does not mean the person is not experiencing pain, but rather that it is unlikely the source of the pain is an anatomical or even biomechanical dysfunction.      With this established, we know we have to consider the other factors that may affect the brain’s processing of pain, such as thoughts, beliefs and emotions.   As illustrated in the introduction, these may differ greatly in an athlete or a patient, so they must be identified and addressed specific to each individual. One way proven to effectively mitigate pain and its associated impact is simply by providing education as an intervention.  In various studies, neuroscience education has had immediate effect in pain thresholds during physical tasks (Mosely 2004), improved outcomes of therapeutic exercise (Mosely 2002), and decreased fear in a patient’s perception of his pain*.* The methods used for transferring this information can vary greatly, but the underlying concept is fundamental: people who understand why they may feel pain can manage their pain more effectively. Therefore, the patient/athlete education we provide is a critical component in rehabilitation.  The clinician must become versed in the complex process of pain neurophysiology to be able to succinctly articulate the phenomenon.   We’re in the midst of an exciting shift in our orthopedic assessments to show greater respect to the neuromuscular system.  Failing to incorporate current concepts of pain physiology would be detrimental to our vision of global movement and function.  An excellent place to start is by reading the book *Explain Pain, *downloading the recently published article *A neuroscience approach to managing athletes with low back pain,* or attending the BSMPG course in May that will feature renown expert, Adriaan Louw.   [![Register for the 2013 BSMPG Summer Seminar Today](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/52884/beb34444-b400-4e02-bd60-fe61d7199983.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/52884/beb34444-b400-4e02-bd60-fe61d7199983)   *Chris Joyce is a physical therapist at a sports orthopedic clinic in Boston.

Most therapeutic interventions focus on structural issues such and instability or hypermobility and result in treatment associated with spinal stabilization. This presentation, however, is designed to updated attendees on the brain’s processing of LBP in athletes, with an emphasis on LBP, brain processing and its potential effect on sports performance. New research into the brain’s processing of pain has shown that not only sensory areas of the brain processes pain, but key areas associated with sports performance, such as the motor, pre-motor, amygdala and more are significantly active when LBP is experienced. Given the brain’s priority of processing pain, many of these key areas associated with optimum performance is less likely to contribute to the athletes recovery and may play a significant role in potential performance loss and re-injury. The neuromatrix view of LBP is a true bio-psycho-social view of pain and essential for physical therapists treating athletes. Clinicians need to realize that addressing issues such as fear, anxiety, expectations and pain itself, are all important in delivering optimal recovery in athletes with LBP. This presentation will include discussion of motor control, endocrine system, and immune system and more, all in relation to a brain’s processing of pain in athletes.   **Objectives:** Upon completion of this educational session the participants will be able to:   1. Understand how the brain processes low back pain 2. Understand how an athlete dealing with pain, ultimately utilizes areas of the brain associated with sports performance, thus impacting their recovery 3. Identify bio-psycho-social factors associated with the development of LBP in athletes 4. Develop strategies, based on the neuromatrix, on how the manage athletes with LBP 5. Apply the information from the educational session into clinical practice   [![Register for the 2013 BSMPG Summer Seminar Today](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/52884/beb34444-b400-4e02-bd60-fe61d7199983.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/52884/beb34444-b400-4e02-bd60-fe61d7199983)   **Selected References:** 1.
