It's Not in Your Head
Welcome to It's Not in Your Head Podcast, with Dan and Juz. Dr. Dan is a Sports Physician and Justine a Pain Coach and patient. We have come together to find ways to manage complex pain better for both patients and providers. New episodes will come out bi-weekly on all major platforms.
It's Not in Your Head
3 Pain is a Sound System
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Complex pain is, well, complicated. Explaining it effectively can be even more so. In this episode, we go through Dan's metaphor to think about and better explain pain amplification, ‘Pain is a Sound System.’ We’ll talk about how the amplification process occurs, (Justine will interrupt us with some “wiggle time”), and we’ll introduce the different types of pain that play a role in pain output including nociceptive (body part) pain, neuropathic (nerve) pain, and nociplastic pain (sensitization). Pain is not in your head. It is a puzzle. Let’s begin to put it together.
