When Radiculopathy Isn’t Radiculopathy: A Clinical Series (Pt. 3)

From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics
From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics

Pain has become the dominant language of musculoskeletal healthcare. Numeric pain-rating scales and symptom reports are routinely used as primary indicators of clinical success.
