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
9 Therapeutic Limitations
In this episode, we expand upon 'Number Needed to Treat', tying that concept into overall therapeutic limitations and some other examples beyond medications, including one you are definitely going to want to hear about - the effect of pain neuroscience education in and of itself.
So how much does understanding pain actually decrease pain? It depends, but not as much as you'd think...We'll introduce a study that teases this apart and share a few different ways to interpret this so you can see how no one therapy is the be all end all of pain.
Hopefully, this information helps you better understand what aspects of pain you're treating in different situations so you can set better expectations, and make better decisions about the overall treatment plan.
