Are your patients’ medications contributing to their MSK symptoms? - with Liz Carson

Wednesday 25th March - 7.00pm

Musculoskeletal symptoms don’t always originate where we expect.

Join us for an insightful webinar exploring how prescribed medications such as benzodiazepines, Z drugs and antidepressants may contribute to MSK pain and dysfunction — whether through side effects, transitory reactions, or withdrawal symptoms. This session will support practitioners in broadening their clinical reasoning and considering medication-related influences when assessing and managing MSK presentations.

Key themes include:

• How these medications can contribute to MSK symptoms
• Recognising transitory symptoms vs longer-term effects
• MSK presentations related to medication side effects
• Understanding withdrawal-related symptoms
• Integrating this awareness into MSK assessment and management

Your Presenter: Liz Carson

Liz is a retired chiropractor and is a 'lived experience practitioner', bringing together academic knowledge with real-world insight. Her unique perspective bridges clinical understanding and patient experience, offering practical, reflective learning for MSK professionals.
