In this episode of the Modern Pain Podcast, Mark Kargela explores the false dichotomy of passive versus active care in pain management, emphasizing that neither is inherently detrimental. He discusses the unique roles of passive care techniques like manual therapy and active care, which encompasses more than just exercise. Mark highlights the importance of personalized, patient-centered approaches that consider the patient's values and life circumstances. The episode underscores the significant impact of communication skills, advocating for meaningful clinician-patient dialogues to better understand patients' stories and barriers. This approach aims to foster a therapeutic alliance and guide patients back to meaningful lives.
