Publication Type Article
Abstract/Notes Objective: To review the likely impact of spinal pain on the sexual response in both males and females, the effect of spinal pain sufferers and their partners, and the implications for chiropractic practice.

Data Sources: Published articles in refereed journals abstracted on the Medline and Psychinfo databases.

Conclusions: Chronic pain is associated with decreased sexual activity and with sexual dysfunction. This can impact on the spouses of patients, as well as the patients themselves. The changes in sexual function that accompany chronic pain may be due to inhibition associated with the fear of consequences such as exacerbation of pain; autonomic dysfunction and sensory deficits; depression; and lack of appropriate care. Assessment of the effects of spinal pain on sexual function may enhance the quality of chiropractic services and contribute to patient wellness.
