This episode applies the Nociceptive Pain Algorithm to real clinical scenarios, breaking down management strategies for each subtype of somatic pain — mechanical, inflammatory, myofascial, bony, and vascular — from first-line approaches through specialist referral. The hosts address the overlapping nature of these pain types and the clinical challenge of instability, while emphasizing that effective decisions can be made even before a full diagnosis is confirmed. Both patients and providers will gain a more structured approach to navigating body part pain.
