Treating pain: a Fresh Look at an Older Perspective
Journal Title: Journal of Physical Therapy - Year 2010, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
For centuries, we have resorted to treating pain with medications and manual therapy. We have assumed that the site of the pain is the only place where the problem lies. Now, there is overwhelming evidence to suggest that we need to change our ways. Too many patients are being placed in the too-hard basket because their pain is beyond the treatment of traditional therapies. At a recent conference held by the Australian and New Zealand pain societies titled the Impact of Pain (2010), the need for better pain management was discussed; the need for a more holistic approach incorporating both physical and emotional aspects was discussed, as was the need for a change in our perceptions towards pain.
