Overview of this Free Online Course
In 2021, we know that persistent pain is a complex problem but it doesn't have to be complicated.  We need a systematic way to identify and address sensitization so that the profile of each patient can be individually managed effectively. The biopsychosocial model must also be incorporated to effectively treat persistent pain. Based on Dr. Sajid's primary care article titled RELIEF: A Practical Primary Care Approach to Chronic Pain, Carolyn reviews the key parameters of assessing and treating persistent musculoskeletal pain.  This includes:
 
  • R= Rule out Red flags
  • E= Educate about pain early on
  • L= Limit Imaging
  • I= Introduce Goals
  • E= Exercise and Movement
  • F= (F)Pharmacology
 
Join her as she highlights this simple yet effective approach to persistent pain.
 
This is the first in a three-lecture series that Carolyn Vandyken presented as the Keynote speaker for the National Conference on Incontinence in Australia in October 2020.  These lectures were delivered in pre-recorded fashion because of the COVID-19 pandemic; the Continence Foundation of Australia has graciously given us permission to re-air these lectures on Embodia Academy.
