Four perspectives: Chronic pain and inflammation: Part 1

 It is ubiquitous in our current health landscape and is a difficult task to manage without the tools and knowledge in understanding both the mechanisms of action and the symptoms surrounding chronic pain and inflammation, alongside managing your patient’s preconceptions, expectations and results on their pain journey. 

Professor Lesley Braun is joined by our four fx Medicine by BioCeuticals Ambassadors to gain their four modality-specific perspectives on chronic pain and inflammation. In part one Dr Adrian Lopresti describes the bi-directional relationship between chronic pain and mental health. Emma Sutherland helps us understand the fragility of these patient’s and how to skilfully work with them. Lisa Costa-Bir’s naturopathic perspective brings us back to square one – Tolle causam – where she focuses on understanding the root cause, and Dr Michelle Woolhouse takes us through the role of inflammation and the markers she uses to when treating patients who are chronically inflamed and in pain.
