Healio has launched a new special report to help clinicians navigate the diagnosis and treatment of chronic back pain.
Chronic back pain is one of the most common conditions health care professionals see, but it can also be complicated, particularly when considering concerns around long-term pain management and opioid use. But Healio’s new special report — Chronic Back Pain: A Healio Guide for Clinicians — combines the latest research, clinical guidance and expert opinion in an accessible format built for busy clinicians.

Pain management experts Sujan Gogu, DO, and Suresh Srinivasan, MD, offered their perspectives and clear advice on a nuanced area of medicine.
The report’s key highlights include:
- red flags in workup;
- nonpharmacologic first-line alternatives;
- which medications to use and what to avoid; and
- important considerations for clinicians.
“Chronic back pain can be difficult to manage because there’s rarely a one-size-fits-all approach,” Stephanie Viguers, editorial director at Healio, said. “This report was developed to give clinicians a reliable, easy-to-use resource that helps support thoughtful treatment decisions, from early warning signs to evaluating the right mix of treatment strategies.”
