Pain Care Strategies
Presented by Rehab Connections
Description
From one of our most popular and relevant courses comes a new virtual workshop highlighting key strategies for optimal rehabilitation of patients experiencing acute and chronic or persistent pain.
Instruction level: Various
CE contact hours 4.0 (IL) *** Duration: 3.3 hours
Intended audience: PTs, PTAs, OTs, OTAs
Topics
- Therapy and healing - Is it a tissue issue? What are the mechanical aggravating or perpetuating factors? How do imaging tests influence healing and pain? How do we dose exercise and movement when chronic or persistent pain is present?
- Communication and Language - What are patients hearing from us and other medical professionals? What are patients really saying to us? How can we change our words to decrease their pain experience? What is catastrophizing and how can we help minimize it?
- Inflammation - Review of inflammatory responses. Different perspectives on the role of inflammation on pain. Factors that influence inflammation such as stress, nutrition, sleep, exercise, and more.
- Central sensitization - Overview for the clinician and easier explanation for patients. How do clinicians recognize sensitized nerves? How and why does it happen? What is important information we need to know about our patients' injury or surgery? Can central sensitization be reversed in patients with chronic or persistent pain?
- Strategies for pain management - What is PNE? Are meditation and mindfulness just trendy? And 4 letter words, really? The role of diet, rest, movement, and understanding our brain.
Objectives
By the completion of the workshop the participant will be able to:
- Discuss strategies to reduce the pain experience using language and communication.
