It's Not in Your Head
Welcome to It's Not in Your Head Podcast, with Dan and Juz. Dr. Dan is a Sports Physician and Justine a Pain Coach and patient. We have come together to find ways to manage complex pain better for both patients and providers. New episodes will come out bi-weekly on all major platforms.
It's Not in Your Head
3 Pain is a Sound System
Complex pain is, well, complicated. Explaining it effectively can be even more so. In this episode, Dr. Dan shares his metaphor to think about and better explain pain called, ‘Pain is a Sound System.’
We’ll talk about how the amplification process occurs, (Justine will interrupt us with some “wiggle time”), and we’ll introduce the different types of pain - nociceptive, neuropathic and nociplastic pain.
With central sensitization in particular, we’ll define the different buckets in a way you haven't heard before, and pull it all together so you can actually make sense of various symptoms and better explain chronic, complex pain. Because it's not in your head. Pain, is a puzzle. Let’s begin to put it together.
