Course SyllabusUnderstanding Chronic PainCourse Description: Pain is a global health problem. One in five people suffer with pain every year. One in ten people experience chronic pain every year. The annual costs of treating pain are greater than the costs of treating cancer, heart disease and diabetes combined. 43% of Americans receiving massage reported they did so for health conditions such as pain management, injury rehabilitation, migraine control, or overall wellness. 88% of consumers agree that massage can be effective in reducing pain.Chronic Pain is very different from acute Pain and presents unique challenges for both the patient and the treating therapist. Chronic Pain is defined as pain that has not abated after 6 months, however it could have been continuing for several years. Patients may be taking a number of medications and coping with losses in relation to their job, family, other health problems, social identity, loss of positive experiences.

Once goals are identified, optimum treatment techniques, hydrotherapy and homework/self-care can be prescribed to follow clear critical thinking guidelines.?
