Chronic Pain Explained
With an estimated 50 million people in the US dealing with chronic pain, you or someone you know may be struggling right now.
If you like straightforward explanations, illustrated teachings, and detailed case studies, then you’ll enjoy this webinar on how to understand and manage chronic pain with a special focus on fibromyalgia. You will learn the latest in neuroscience and gain an understanding of how the nervous system becomes over sensitive, turning acute pain into chronic pain.
The course will provide an easy-to-understand overview of the central nervous system using creative illustrations to convey complex topics. Specific examples of individuals who struggle with fibromyalgia will be used throughout the presentation to provide real life examples of the pain neuroscience and the strategies of pain management. Walk away with clear, actionable steps that you or a loved one can begin using immediately to help manage pain more effectively and start to get back to normal life.
This class will be recorded and a one-week link to the recording will be shared with all registered participants. To receive incentive points, attend at least 80% of the live session or listen to the entire recording within one week.
