Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This episode introduces "The Pain Pie" — a practical thinking tool for understanding the different components that contribute to a patient's overall pain experience. Building on the "Pain is a Sound System" framework, the model helps providers visualize the diagnostic picture and identify which aspects of pain to address first. For patients, it offers a clearer way to understand their own symptoms and recognize which interventions are most relevant to their specific presentation.
