The Reign of Pain (Part 1): Emerging Concepts in the Role of the Brain in the Construction of Pain

  • Live Webinar United States (map)

Course Description:

Not all injuries cause pain, and not all pain is due to injuries. An explosion of brain research demonstrates that all pain is constructed by the brain as a danger/alarm function. It is imperative to distinguish pain caused by structural disorders from pain caused by neural pathways in the brain. Appropriate treatment of pain is guided by this distinction with the goal of resolution of pain for individuals with neural pathway induced pain.

This webinar can be taken as a two-part series or as a stand-alone course.
