Offering patient education on pain management is defined as the process of influencing the patient’s behavior and producing the changes through knowledge, attitudes and skills which are necessary to maintain and improve your health.
Pain management education is a complex, multi-faceted experience that demands a lot of attention. Pain education is explained as any set of planned activities designed to improve a patient’s health behaviors, health status or both. Pain management education aims to facilitate the patient’s knowledge base in order to help make sense of the patient’s pain and offer the patient guidance towards effective, ongoing self-management.
Our experienced doctors are able to offer techniques and more information to make your self-management of your pain easier by helping and enabling proper education.
Understanding the education is a vital part of the rehabilitation process from your pain; and helps with the acquisition of new knowledge and skills. The information offered is hopefully retained, retrieved and integrated in a meaningful way into the patient’s daily life.
By helping them understand where the patient’s pain is coming from, and how to continuously manage it better, will help the start of the education process. As medical specialists, we are able to offer more insight and knowledge as well as to include techniques to help with the pain.
A few of the topics we may include in the education process would be the anatomy, and physiology of the affected areas of the patient’s body, the nature of the persistent pain, the difference between acute and chronic pain, triggers as well as flare up management, how to avoid fear of pain and how exercise plays a crucial role in helping your pain management, we may also refer to other specialists for specific treatments and offer you realistic expectations about your diagnosis and if there is a cure.
Chronic pain is pain that lasts longer than six months. Chronic pain is one of the most common causes of long-term disability and major contributors to healthcare. Patients who are well educated and have knowledge on their pain are able to change their damaging behaviors so they can stay healthy with self-care management and the use of medical specialties.
Offering an explanation of their diagnosis, treatment options available to help with their pain, and what to expect from these treatment options regarding the diagnosis gives more insight into how patient education is laid out. We will also provide information on the patient’s self-care, wellness and prevention. We do this as it is necessary for our patient’s recovery and overall wellbeing.
Pain easily interferes with many of our patients daily activities, one of the main goals of acute pain management is to help reduce the effect of pain on our patient’s function and quality of life. Our doctors offer the ability for our patient’s to resume their daily activities, maintain a positive mood and sleep which are relevant functions following patient pain treatments.
