International Musculoskeletal Medicine

Aims & Scope

Cessation International Musculoskeletal Medicine publishes research and review papers about pain and dysfunction in the musculoskeletal system.

It wishes to encourage better treatment by improving the evidence base for best practice.

To encourage better understanding of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction, it publishes papers dealing with its causation and the mechanisms underlying chronicity as well as the mechanisms for obtaining satisfactory relief.

The Journal also welcomes the submission of case reports, discussion papers and hypotheses.

International Musculoskeletal Medicine is therefore of interest to all who are interested in the scientific basis for the best and most cost effective non-surgical relief of musculoskeletal pain, especially by manual, exercise and injection therapies whether from the medical, physiotherapy, osteopathic or chiropractic profession.
