Description
This 25-hour course explores the latest neurophysiological and clinical insights into chronic overlapping pain conditions (COPCs), including fibromyalgia. Participants will examine top-down and bottom-up pain management strategies, the role of the prefrontal cortex, corticospinal tract modulation, meningeal glial activation, and dorsal root ganglia dysfunction. With a blend of research-based lectures and practical, hands-on techniques, clinicians will leave with a deeper understanding of chronic pain mechanisms and evidence-based tools for patient care.
What you’ll learn:
- Understand chronic overlapping pain mechanisms including glial activation, DRG involvement, and neuroinflammation.
- Compare top-down vs. bottom-up approaches in chronic pain treatment.
- Apply examination and treatment tools including CBT, cranial/upper cervical techniques, and neuromodulation strategies.
- Demonstrate skills in identifying and managing COPCs through supervised practicum sessions.
