People with persistent pain are caught in boom and bust attempts to increase activity, crippled by the uncertainties of their future, fatigued by ineffective and risky treatments, and confused by a medical system that often fails to provide needed direction to patients. Feeling helpless, individuals turn to sometimes desperate means of alleviating their discomfort. Trying to cure the problem of chronic pain is sometimes not the solution but the problem. Instead, pain experts in recent years have recommended that teaching people to live with pain, to improve the quality of life despite pain, is the best approach to help individuals live fuller and happier lives. Learning to live with pain requires teaching patients to live their lives differently. It means imparting skills and the knowledge, not to fight pain better, but to meet the challenges of pain without fear and uncertainty - the true enemies that can lead to increased suffering and disabling consequences that affect so many millions of people with pain. Come and learn the practical steps to help your patients live rewarding lives despite pain.
