If you understand pain, you are going to be able to understand how you can change it. The more you know, the more power you are going to have.
Ever stopped to ponder what pain really is? We all know the feeling and why we dread it, but have you ever thought about its true nature? This episode of Pain Relief University features Dr. Anjanette C. Nuñez, a Doctor of Physical Therapy and a Pain Science Fellow-in-Training, who dives deep into the concept of pain. Dr. Nuñez is dedicated to promoting health equity through inclusive clinical practices and education.
She’s on a mission to help healthcare students better understand and communicate about pain, making her insights invaluable for anyone dealing with chronic pain or interested in the science behind it. Dr. Nuñez breaks down the complexities of pain using a biopsychosocial model, which considers the biological, psychological, and social factors that influence our pain experiences. She emphasizes that understanding pain isn't just about the physical aspect; it’s about how our mind and environment play a role too.
This holistic approach offers a refreshing alternative to the traditional biomechanical views that often dominate pain management discussions. Throughout the episode, Dr. Nuñez also touches on the importance of patient education. By empowering patients with knowledge, they can take control of their pain management and improve their quality of life. She sheds light on how psychological factors, including racial injustices and power dynamics, can exacerbate chronic pain, urging a more compassionate and comprehensive approach to treatment.
If you’re tired of the same old methods and want to explore a more rounded understanding of pain, this episode is for you. Tune in to hear Dr. Nuñez's transformative insights and start your journey towards a pain-free life.
