Pain is one of the most complex and subjective experiences patients present with—and understanding how it’s transmitted, perceived, and modulated is key to delivering effective care. This course explores the neurological and physiological foundations of pain, offering chiropractors a deeper look into how pain signals travel through the nervous system and how the body’s innate modulation systems work to reduce pain without medication.
You’ll learn how to leverage this knowledge to better explain pain to patients and support their recovery through non-pharmacological strategies that activate natural pain-inhibiting pathways.
What you’ll gain:
A clear understanding of the neurological and physiological mechanisms of pain
Insight into how the body naturally modulates and reduces pain perception
Clinical strategies to engage these pathways through chiropractic care
Tools to improve patient education, trust, and long-term pain management outcomes
