Is it time to reframe how we care for people with non-traumatic musculoskeletal pain?

One page on PainSci cites Lewis 2018: Your Back Is Not Out of Alignment

PainSci notes on Lewis 2018:

This editorial is an excellent, brief explanation proposal for treating chronic pain like other chronic illnesses: “strong clinical alliance, education, exercise and lifestyle (sleep hygiene, smoking cessation, stress management, etc) in order to build the individual’s self-efficacy to take control and ultimately be responsible for their health.” But “clinical evidence is lacking.”
