Given the clear evidence of sudden deterioration in neurologic status, cervical MRI was performed before any further care (particularly, regional manual treatment) was considered. MRI demonstrated a large left parasagittal and lateral C6-C7 disk herniation with extension into the neural foramen, and cervical cord compression and displacement without signal intensity change or substantial bony neuroforaminal or central canal narrowing. A spine surgical consultation was accommodated almost immediately. The patient was treated with a single-level anterior cervical decompression and fusion.
Surgical considerations notwithstanding, this patient’s best outcome clearly extends beyond root decompression and segmental fusion; her history and clinical findings were demonstrative of a long-standing movement disorder and postural stress relative to more chronic axial neck and back pain and shoulder stiffness. Transdisciplinarity afforded a seamless transition to postoperative management of pain and stiffness and care of her preexisting dysfunctional axial and shoulder girdle stabilization mechanics. Treatment of all conditions was equally critical to an optimal outcome.
Case Example Two
A 29-year-old woman employed as a professional singer and administrative assistant requested a chiropractic evaluation. She reported more than 10 years of neck and upper back pain and generalized (symmetric suboccipital to bitemporal distribution) headaches. She denied other symptoms, and a review of systems and medical history were reportedly otherwise unremarkable. She did not exercise and maintained a multiyear smoking habit of one pack of cigarettes per day.
Although the patient had undergone monthly full spine chiropractic manipulations for several years, she acknowledged no more than temporary benefit from these treatments. She had not been examined by a physician or physical therapist for her current symptoms. She admitted to depression regarding her persistent symptoms and anxiety about degenerative changes noted on her cervical radiographs.
She had a dysphoric, asthenic, and fatigued appearance with slouched posture. The patient was intermittently tearful during her appointment. Widespread tenderness was reported with even superficial palpation, which resulted in a withdrawal response. No focal midline or anterior neck
tenderness was elicited.
Passive neck motions were grossly physiologic, with pain in all planes but primarily in extension, with associated upper thoracic stiffness and discomfort. The Spurling test result was negative for radicular-type symptoms; however, neck pain was elicited with even light vertex pressure, indicating a positive axial loading test result. Deep neck flexor recruitment was suboptimal with anterior head carriage. Bilateral shoulder ranges of motion were full and locally painless, and clinical examination showed no finding suspicious for rotator cuff, bicipital tendon, or glenoid labral compromise. Scapulothoracic motions were grossly normal. Upper extremity neuromotor, reflex, and sensory examinations were normal without neural tension or long tract signs. After the examination, the patient’s relatively benign findings were explained and she was reassured that further diagnostic testing was unnecessary. She was distressed, expressing that she hoped to undergo MRI to determine the cause of her symptoms.
A transdisciplinary approach was recommended, including physical therapy, physiatric evaluations, and brief but time-limited regional manual treatment. The behavioral findings were addressed with careful inquiry into any unreported prior injury. The patient volunteered a history of sustained sexual, physical, and emotional abuse during late childhood, for which she had never received counseling. Her pain was explained in the context of chronicity, central processing, and a lack of supportive mental health care. Additional physical treatments were contingent on coordinated psychologic assessment, to which the patient agreed.
The patient reported substantial improvement in all symptoms in a matter of weeks. Manual therapy was withdrawn and further gains were reported at follow-ups over 6 months, during which psychologic counseling continued. She reported increasing optimism regarding her ability to effectively self­manage symptoms by means of spine stabilization exercises, relaxation techniques, and walking. Her sleep had improved, and she was willing to transition to self-directed care. Two years later, she returned with a flare-up in symptoms after experiencing strain while lifting during a household move and confirmed general successful independent management of her symptoms with a continuing exercise program. Tobacco use had continued, but at decreased levels, and she reported improvement in anxiety and depression while continuing mental health care at an outside facility.
What Can We Learn?
These two case examples represent relative extremes on the spectrum of neck pain disorders. The first case is a well-defined instance of acute-onset neurologic compromise, and the second case involved nonspecific physical finding in a patient with prevalent long-standing psychosocial distress, unnecessary treatment dependency, and a history of abuse that strongly correlated with progression to chronic pain. Neither patient had previously received evidence-oriented clinical care. From a strictly biomedical perspective, both patients were ostensibly candidates for physically oriented treatment (stand-alone surgery in the first case and extensively repetitive chiropractic treatments in the second case) without prior consideration of the broader clinical pictures. Critical to care optimization was transdisciplinary recognition of a combination of physical and psychosocial factors that if unaddressed may have resulted in unnecessary physical treatments, poor outcomes, and significant patient ramifications.
These examples demonstrate the broad changes that confront the future of orthopaedic practice and “significant cooperation on behalf of all involved healthcare providers will be necessary to ensure that quality of care does not suffer while efforts for cost containment continue”54 and the emerging realization that transdisciplinarity will be critical to patients and providers negotiating a new era in health care.
Summary
The current approach to cervical spine care is unsustainable. Cervical spine disorders are endemic, highly recurrent, and commonly involve psychosocial and other complexities that exceed the management capacity of any single spine specialist. Compounded by the extraordinary internal and external stresses of a rapidly changing healthcare environment, transdisciplinarity is urgently needed in patient care. Although efforts to refine physical treatment should continue, transdisciplinarity in health care has the potential to improve outcomes, patient satisfaction, and treatment value and enhance the work experience of providers.
Embracing and implementing a transdisciplinary biopsychosocial care
model requires a willingness to think and work in new ways. A chaordic model of management may hold the key to this evolution in health care.
Key Study Points
Cervical spine disorders are highly prevalent, with substantial personal and societal costs. Extant management models have resulted in neck care that is largely biomedical, expensive, poorly coordinated, and ineffective. Psychosocial factors are equally, if not more, influential on treatment outcomes and the progression to neck pain disability. Broad access to biopsychosocial neck care is needed. Despite some single-treatment effectiveness, the scope of cervical disorders exceeds that of any single discipline. Transdisciplinary health care has the potential to expedite access while improving outcomes, value, and patient satisfaction.

This systematic review and meta-analysis was designed to identify and examine the extent to which putative mediators explain the effect of pain on disability in people with low back pain or neck pain. The methodologic quality of these studies was low; however, the results suggest substantial mediating effects of self-efficacy, psychologic distress, and fear, which underpin the direct targeting of these constructs in treatment.

Several large-scale education programs were recently developed in different countries to align knowledge of the public (including general practitioners) with evidence-based best practice. The aim was to change beliefs (such as dysfunctional patient behavior and biomedical practice on the part of clinicians); however, these programs had no influence on behavior or costs in three of the four countries in which they were implemented. One suggested reason for the overall lack of success is that altering the potentially disabling belief among the lay public that low back pain has a structural mechanical cause is extremely difficult.

Prior to commencing rehabilitation in cases of unexplained chronic musculoskeletal pain, maladaptive illness perceptions must be changed to alter maladaptive pain cognitions and reconceptualize pain. This can be accomplished by patient education about pain physiology, a continuous process initiated during the educational sessions and continued within both the active treatment and during longer term rehabilitation.
