Know Pain, Know Gain - Pain Neuroscience Education for Wellness

About this course

Pain is a complex phenomenon that is not well-explained by outdated pain models used by the health care community.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 webinar-based 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. Also described is how the latest research is being applied into a wellness program at the Froedtert Holy Family Memorial facility.

What you will learn

• Recognize that some cognitions and behaviors, in response to a pain experience, may have a negative impact on recovery and health
• Identify limitations of the outdated pathoanatomical models in explaining pain, especially complex chronic pain
