A multidisciplinary approach to chronic pain management involving physiotherapists, occupational therapists, psychologists and nursing staff is widely regarded as the best course of action. Chronic pain is a complex condition that affects both physical and emotional well-being. Physiotherapists assess and treat physical impairments, while nursing staff provide support, education, and self-management strategies.

Psychologists address the psychological aspects of pain through cognitive-behavioural therapy. This collaborative model leads to more effective and personalised treatment, improved functional abilities, and enhanced patient satisfaction. It allows for a comprehensive assessment and treatment plan, taking into account the individual needs of each patient.

Occupational Therapists help patients with chronic pain in several ways. OTs can provide pain education and teach patients abut relaxation techniques and other coping strategies aimed at reducing pain and improving function.

Moreover, the multidisciplinary approach promotes better communication and coordination among healthcare providers, avoiding duplication of tests and treatments. By combining their expertise, these healthcare professionals provide holistic care, addressing the physical and psychological aspects of chronic pain and improving overall well-being and quality of life for patients.
