ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
Chronic pain is a complex problem, and understanding all the aspects of it in a given patient is the key to successfully treating it. For many health professionals and patients, however, the problem is considered currently unsolvable. Fortunately, cutting-edge understandings in our neurophysiology have opened a door to a new paradigm for, not just managing, but solving chronic pain. This emerging approach is being successfully used by an increasing number of health care providers across the country.DAY 1
The framework of the nature of pain and the body’s response to sustained threat.
DAY 2
The principles behind the solutions for addressing chronic pain with the new pain paradigm – Calming the autonomic nervous system and re-routing the central nervous system.
DAY 3
Tools to take home – an overview of evidence-based interventions that create safety and reduce pain.
