Integrative Pain Management: Foundations

Pain is a multifaceted issue involving nutritional, psychosocial, biochemical, neurological and physical components. The conventional medical model typically addresses pain in a unidimensional mode — with medications. With the growing awareness of the opioid epidemic, clinicians and patients are seeking to decrease pharmaceutical use and are turning to alternative therapies. The first section of the Foundations course offers a review of the physiology of pain, factors affecting the transition from acute to chronic, current pharmaceutical strategies, and opioid deprescribing.

The second section of the course offers and in-depth look at a wide variety of integrative modalities including nutritional approaches, mind-body therapies, manual therapy techniques, acupuncture, and many more. This course will discuss the evidence for safety and benefit of these modalities in the settings of acute and chronic pain. Finally, the strength of evidence for specific pain syndromes will be covered.

1. Discuss strategies for de-prescribing opiate medications.
