- Title
Raising the profile of musculoskeletal disorders with governments.
- Authors
Ellis, Benjamin; Silman, Alan
- Abstract
The author reflects on the struggle of Canada's musculoskeletal community to secure the level of engagement which the burden of the disease demands from health policymakers and providers. He argues that rheumatologists should be consistent in policy forums by presenting arthritis and related conditions in groups of inflammatory disorders requiring specialist care and common disorders of musculoskeletal pain. He discusses the problems in attempting further subclassification of the disease.
