Whole Person Approaches to Managing Pain

 

Pain is one of the most common and disabling health conditions worldwide. It has become widely recognized that pain is a complex condition influenced by interrelated physical, psychological, and social factors. Despite this, most care for pain focuses on symptom management using surgeries and medications that often fail to meet most sufferers’ needs. The good news is that there is a growing body of research to support complementary and integrate approaches that can address people’s pain from a ‘whole-person’ perspective.
