Upcoming Events
Neck Pain, the Immune System, and Why It Changes Everything About Treatment
Dr Ivo Lutke Schipholt | Science Session
Thursday 21 May | 8.30pm (CET) / 7.30pm (GMT)
Neck pain is one of the most common conditions physiotherapists treat. But how much do we actually understand about what's happening biologically — and whether our interventions are changing any of it?
Dr Ivo Lutke Schipholt, PhD researcher at VU Amsterdam, brings findings from the cutting edge of neuroimmune science. This session explores systemic inflammation in neck pain — how it relates to clinical, psychological, and behavioural factors — and the evidence for what joint manipulation actually does to those processes. It then goes deeper: into local neuroimmune activation at the neuroforamina and spinal cord in patients with painful cervical radiculopathy, using molecular PET/CT imaging to see what we couldn't see before.
The final stretch looks ahead to precision physiotherapy — matching individual physiological mechanisms to targeted interventions. Not one-size-fits-all. Not guesswork.

f you work with neck pain or radiculopathy, this is the kind of research that changes how you think about what you're doing.
