Foundations of Pain Science Class

Join Dr. Stracks for a five-week long exploration of modern pain science and how you can use this knowledge to relieve your chronic symptoms.

Modern pain science has shown that pain comes from the brain in response to threatened or actual danger; it doesn’t come from the body. Studies have shown that understanding this is vital to healing chronic pain and other symptoms.

Each week in this course, Dr. Stracks will review 2 key concepts of modern pain science that will help explain why you have chronic symptoms and what to do about them. Once you have a solid scientific understanding of pain, you will be able to use those key concepts to help structure your recovery program with active treatment strategies.

The Foundations of Pain Science can be taken by itself or be paired with the concurrent Mind-Body Medicine Discussion Group. An individual consultation with Michelle Grim or with Dr. Stracks is recommended before or during the class.
