If you are among the 1 in 5 Americans who suffer from chronic pain you know it can have a debilitating impact on your health. Discuss the new science of pain management which suggests that a person’s medical condition is not simply related to biological factors but also to emotional and social factors. Understand the difference between acute pain and chronic pain and why complex changes in the brain may explain why chronic pain develops. Learn how you can program your brain and modify other factors through meditation, mindfulness and other approaches to manage your pain and provide a pathway to improve the condition.
