Webinar: Know Pain, Know Gain - Pain Neuroscience Education for Wellness
Pain Neuroscience Education
Pain is a complex phenomenon that is not well-explained by outdated pain models used by the health care community. A person's negative beliefs surrounding pain and injury, which can be influenced by information from their health care team, can lead the injured person to engage in behaviors that are counterproductive to treating their pain and returning to the activities that they enjoy. This course will explore how beliefs and cognitions can impact a pain experience and how Pain Neuroscience Education can help empower patients to return to active lifestyles. We will also describe how we are applying the latest research into a wellness program at our facility at Froedtert Holy Family Memorial.
Learning Objectives
- Participants will be able to recognize that some cognitions and behaviors, in response to a pain experience, may have a negative impact on recovery and health.
- Participants will be able to identify limitations of the outdated pathoanatomical models in explaining pain, especially complex chronic pain.
- Participants will be able to outline the benefits of Pain Neuroscience Education in mitigating some of the psychosocial risk factors that impact and even prevent the use of active coping strategies in people with pain.
