About
This course will take a dive into the biopsychosocial model of care for patients with acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain. Providers are often well versed in the biomedical model of diagnosis and management but may fall short when addressing the entire patient. Physical pain is often compounded by social pressures like inability to meet work demands, lack of family support, or financial burden from medical office visits. These social factors are only worsened by the mental toll of acute or chronic pain, often leading to hopelessness, depression, anxiety, or kinesiophobia. Having strategies in place to identify and address these psychological and social factors can lead to a well-rounded treatment plan that targets pain and the contextual factors that may impact recovery. This course will equip providers with simple, effective strategies for identifying and managing psychosocial factors in patient recovery based on the latest research and the latest research.
