Pain Management: Pain Care Tools (9/15/2021)

In this ECHO session, Dr. Mike Lewandowski discusses pain care tools for healthcare professionals. DR. Lewandowski aims to introduce a collaborative approach to persistent pain in patients. The four pillars of Dr. Lewandowski’s approach include education, physical rehab, psychological interventions, and the involvement of other people. Using tools like a pain map, pain flare-up record, etc. healthcare professionals can create a more holistic approach to pain which best supports the patient. The Pain Map is one of the most useful tools – something to best narrow symptomology and diagnosis. Using more psychological and therapeutic approaches to pain, patients can receive a different perspective.
