About
Understanding and managing pain effectively requires more than identifying where it hurts—it demands knowing why it hurts. This course reframes the traditional approach to pain management by distinguishing acute and chronic pain through the lens of modern pain science. Participants will explore how shifting from a purely tissue-based model to a mechanism- and context-based framework can radically improve patient outcomes. Clinicians will learn to differentiate acute and chronic pain presentations, identify key assessment priorities for each, and select evidence-informed interventions that match the underlying pain state rather than tissue findings alone. The course also emphasizes the power of language and patient communication—demonstrating how words can either reinforce fear or promote healing confidence. Instructor: Nick Askey, DC
