How to Talk to Chronic Pain Patients About Neuroplasticity, CBT and Mindfulness

If you’ve ever tried to explain neuroplasticity in a few sentences with your chronic pain patients, then you know how challenging that can be. Clinicians need to be careful in how we talk about neuroplasticity, self-management and catastrophizing with patients.

In this webinar, Dr. Wong shares proven strategies for successful patient education about chronic pain, even in the shortest visits, in any clinical setting.
