Description

The National Institute for Health reports that 25.3 million Americans live with chronic pain, while health economists estimate that the cost of chronic pain in the United States is $635 billion annually. Current research is revealing the broad ineffectiveness of pharmaceutical strategies and strongly suggests that successfully treating the multifactorial nature of chronic pain requires an integrative, holistic approach including attention on key emotional, psychological, and behavioral factors. Integrative approaches including Tai Chi, breath-work, graded movement and mindfulness are widely recognized body- mind modalities and research supported, non- pharmacological approaches in treating chronic pain conditions.

This course has been designed to outline the scientific and physiologic basis of key body- mind components, instruct simple integrative practices shown to be effective in remediating chronic pain, and review the evidence base for validating these approaches in the treatment of patients dealing with chronic pain conditions.

Highlights

  • Consistently improve painful symptoms, even in long standing issues
  • Understand the coupled nature of emotional, psychological, and behavioral factors in dealing with chronic pain
  • Immediately apply novel treatment approaches that organically increase patient referrals

Learning Objectives

  • Differentiate the neuromuscular compensatory patterns specific to patients dealing with chronic pain.
  • Interpret the 3-step integrative graded movement process designed to normalize pain perception in adult clients dealing with chronic pain issues.
  • Apply the research and use of integrative approaches in the treatment of adult clients dealing with chronic pain to facilitate function activities of choice and ease ADLs.
