It's Not in Your Head

7 The Pain Pie

Dr. Dan Bates & Justine Feitelson Season 1 Episode 7

In this episode, we will bring the different types of pain together in an alternative way to "Pain is a Sound System',  introducing 'The Pain Pie' to tease apart the different aspects of pain that contribute to the output of symptoms patients experience.

As a provider, you can use this thinking tool to better see the different presentations as you go through the diagnostic process. As a patient, you can use it to start to better understand what you are experiencing and what interventions are most appropriate given the specific pieces of your pie.
