What you'll learn
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
Identify the clinical presentations and key neurophysiological mechanisms of several common chronic pain syndromes.
Analyze the rationale for incorporating nonpharmacologic strategies, including manual therapy, movement-based interventions, and behavioral approaches, into a patient’s chronic pain management plan.
Formulate a patient-centered, interdisciplinary treatment strategy for a chronic pain case study that integrates a whole-person, biopsychosocial–spiritual perspective.
Course description
This course offers healthcare professionals a comprehensive exploration of current chronic pain models, the use of manual therapy and other nonpharmacologic interventions, and the integration of biopsychosocial and structural evaluations. Participants will learn to apply these strategies to improve function, reduce pain, and enhance patient outcomes across a range of chronic pain syndromes.
Chronic pain is one of the most pervasive challenges in clinical practice. Evolving understandings of pain neurophysiology and the growing emphasis on nonpharmacologic, interdisciplinary care demand continued education in evidence-based strategies that support safer, more holistic pain management.

Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
