Community Webinar: Whole Person Approaches to Managing Pain with Brent Leininger, DC, MS, PhD

About the Event:

Pain is one of the most common and disabling health conditions worldwide. It has become widely recognized that pain is a complex condition influenced by interrelated physical, psychological, and social factors. Despite this, most care for pain focuses on symptom management using surgeries and medications that often fail to meet most sufferers’ needs. The good news is that there is a growing body of research to support complementary and integrative approaches that can address people’s pain from a ‘whole-person’ perspective.

In this webinar, participants will learn:
1. The personal and social impacts of poorly managed pain, including its relationship to health disparities
2. The intersecting biopsychosocial factors that affect the whole person with pain
3. The science of whole person approaches to pain management and useful resources
