Pain Reframed

Dr. Marc Ringel joins us on Pain Reframed to discuss the humanistic perspective on healthcare. Dr. Ringel has served in so many different aspects of the healthcare profession, but his perspective on the humanistic side is very powerful. This week, Marc, Jeff, and Tim will be talking about what it is to be human and how to deliver kind care. The power of touch and face-to-face communication can't be replaced with technology, no matter how helpful technology is for us.

Also, as a philosophy major, Dr. Ringel became interested in the history of science and in the "mind-body problem." For most of his career Dr. Ringel has written, spoken, and consulted on issues related to medical informatics and telemedicine.

We have Dr. Kelly joining us on Pain Reframed this week! Dr. Kelly is an osteopathic physician, who is starting her new business, "Counseling International" any day now! Dr. Kelly has incredible passion with her practice and even engages with patients who have been down and out in their lives: those who've made mistakes along the way.

Dr. Kelly shares some powerful stories of working with patients out of prison and jail and encouraging us that ANY of us could be that person. We're not as far removed from our patients as it may seem. We've all made mistakes in our lives and Dr. Kelly's passion for helping her patients, who may be more in need of our care than many other populations, is amazing and something we can all learn from.

We'll be discussing the fusion of a traditional medical model with yoga in this week's episode of Pain Reframed! We welcome Sarah Martin, Physician Assistant and Certified Yoga Therapist, to discuss what she's doing to blend the traditional treatment of those dealing with pain with utilizing yoga to help enhance healing through the mind body connection.

Sarah gives excellent tips in how we, as PTs, can be trained to utilize the mind body connection healing, including different kinds of of breath work and postures, for example, into chronic pain care.

Science News and the media shared some recent research on what morphine does in terms of pain reactivity as well as what is happening with post-surgical opioids. We welcome Dr. Peter Grace to discuss these findings and to unpack this information to help us in this battle against the opioid crisis. Peter has a balanced viewpoint that should give us some good information to consider, going forward.

Additionally, Tim, Jeff, and Peter discuss Peter's current research on understanding the mechanisms of pain and the role of peripheral immune cells and neuropathic pain. They also discuss the transition from acute to chronic pain and the effect of opioids and morphine substances on moving into that persistent pain pattern.

Peter is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Critical Care Research, at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. His research aims to understand the neuroinflammatory mechanisms that drive chronic pain, in order to identify new treatment strategies.

We welcome, back to Pain Reframed, Dr. Adriaan Louw! Adriaan, Jeff, and Tim are discussing ISPI's new Front Office Program, which is designed to help front office staff to interact with patients in a way that will help them in their healing process. Saying something to a patient and/or treating them in a certain way can, as we know, help or hurt that patient. Our goal is to make the patient's experience the best possible and to allow for optimal healing.

Adriaan also gives us an update on his middle school education about reframing pain and teaching students at a younger age to understand healthy foundations for what pain and discomfort truly is.

Don't forget to save the date: March 8-10, 2019 in Denver, Colorado, the Align Conference will be taking place, focusing on movement and pain.
