• Affect and emotion are inextricable to healthcare but rarely considered in healthcare research and practice. • Distress circulates within the care of people with chronic low back pain. • Political economies shape healthcare delivery, often unintentionally producing distress and constraining care. • Resticted evaluation metrics demonstrate 'usefulness,' but obscure the affective effects of care.
