My thoughts

video: CENTRAL SENSITIZATION SYNDROME

4/15/2022

 
This is an excellent video from Dr. Christopher Sletten, Clinical Director of the Jacksonville, Florida Mayo Clinic Pain Rehabilitation Center (PRC) that is part of the FEATURED content in my Chronic Pain Champions - No Whining Allowed support group. (The Rochester, Minnesota Mayo PRC is the program I attended.)

Dr. Sletten explains:
  • The differences between acute and chronic pain.
  • Why treatment must be different for chronic pain.
  • How and why central sensitization happens.
  • Why symptoms can change and grow along with the development of more and different triggers for the symptoms.
  • Why traditional medical non-traditional medical physical treatments stop working.
  • Pain isn’t a psychological disorder.
  • The four targets of treatment at the PRC (physical, emotional, behavioral, and chemical).
  • The concept of pain behaviors and how ice, medication, injections, etc. reinforce the pain – adding fuel to the fire.
  • How the PRC can help conditions that are beyond musculoskeletal like POTS and long-COVID.
