Chronic pain is one of the most common health conditions in the United States. The CDC estimates that 20 percent of US adults live with chronic pain. That means 1 in every 5 people deal with chronic pain every day!

In this evidence-based presentation, Dr. Andrea Furlan takes a fresh look at dealing with chronic pain by examining the three types of pain and the optimal treatments for each. You will learn why treatments for one type of pain don’t work for a different type of pain, and how to distinguish between each type. Dr. Furlan will take a deep dive into the most common type of chronic pain—nociplastic--in which your brain sends faulty pain signals to your body. To help you in your journey for pain relief, Dr. Furlan will also share 8 Tips to Talk with Your Doctor about chronic pain.
