Managing Chronic Pain Nobody likes feeling pain. Joe remembers that as a child, he would ask the doctors and nurses if the procedure was going to hurt. They always lied and told him it would not. As a result, he ended up not trusting them. We often think of pain as located in the body part that hurts (hence, tell me where it hurts). In actuality, though, pain is a complex phenomenon the brain and its interpretation of the situation at least as much as the body. That is why Dr. Rachel Zoffness maintains that pain is biopsychosocial–the result of three overlapping circles in a Venn diagram: biological, psychological and sociological. The biological circle includes our genetics, tissue damage, diet, sleep and movement. Psychological factors are never just psychological. The brain uses the same limbic system to process emotions and pain, so our feelings about our situation have a major impact on our pain experience. In the sociological realm, we find access to care, a history of trauma, and factors like racism or poverty. One result is that pain is incredibly subjective, varying from one individual to another and even from day to day. Another example of the power of the brain to generate pain is phantom limb pain. You may have heard of someone whose foot hurts even though the leg was amputated. Dr. Zoffness tells us about a boy with hand pain after a fireworks accident that resulted in his arm being amputated. The hand wasn't there, but the pain was real. What Is Your Pain Recipe? In managing chronic pain, it helps to know what your pain recipe is. What factors contribute to a bad pain day? A few common ones are poor sleep, too much junk in the diet, lots of stress, too little movement. Once you have the recipe for a bad pain day, you may be able to turn that around to find the recipe for a low pain day. If you get enough sleep, does that turn down the pain dial? How about diet? We also discuss the power of self-hypnosis and biofeedback. If you can practice warming your hands up, as Dr. Zoffness has learned to do, you can also practice making yourself more comfortable. She shares another story of a teenager who suffered from crippling migraines, social anxiety and generalized body pain. He had not been to school in years, but taking very small steps at first–just standing in the sun on his front porch–he was gradually able to build himself a low-pain recipe. Taking the dog to the dog park helped him move his body and his brain started producing chemicals like dopamine and serotonin. Eventually Sam was able to return to high school, even graduating. Using Pain Medicines in Managing Chronic Pain Physicians have often learned that managing chronic pain is something of a prescription puzzle. Which drug will work best for this patient? A decade or more ago, the answer was frequently opioids. That's no longer the case. As a result of the overdose epidemic, doctors usually try to prescribe some other type of medication. Two of the most popular are gabapentin and tramadol. When our listeners tell us about their experience with gabapentin, the results range widely. For some people, it seems to be a life-changing medication. For many others, it is lackluster at best, and for some, the side effects of brain fog, dizziness, breathing problems, edema and an increased risk of dementia are too much. Dr. Zoffness has heard similar reports about gabapentin. Her guideline for pain medicine is to try it for three months and see if it makes a (positive) difference. If not, ask the prescriber to help you taper off. Stopping any pain medicine suddenly could be a mistake. For managing chronic pain, people need a healthcare professional who can help them create a personalized pain management plan. For improving sleep, which is often a key ingredient in the pain recipe, she recommends cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI). The sleep hygiene protocol she suggests can also be helpful, dimming lights and gearing down as the day comes to a close. The Roadmap for Managing Chronic Pain The last section of Dr. Zoffness's book is a detailed pain protocol. She reminds us that there is no quick hack for pain. If trauma is part of the pain recipe, addressing the trauma will be useful. Medications are important tools, but they are not a permanent fix for chronic pain. She wants us all to remember that if the brain can change, pain can change. It is in our power.

Description: "When joint pain is present, the diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis needs to be made as soon as possible, ideally within six months to limit joint inflammation" Dr. Vinod Chandran mentions as he discusses efforts to identify a diagnostic test for those at risk of developing psoriatic arthritis.          Join host Jeff Brown as he speaks with leading rheumatologist and clinician scientist Dr. Vinod Chandran, Director of the Gladman Krembil Psoriatic Arthritis Program, Schroeder Arthritis Institute, University Health Network and the Departments of Medicine, Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology, and the Institute of Medical Science at the University of Toronto to learn more about the progress and promising results towards developing a psoriatic arthritis diagnostic test through multi-omic assays and identifying the distinct differences between psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.  This episode provides an update on the progress to date of the NPF PsA Diagnostic Test grant initiative which has shown promising results with a potential test entering prospective study in multiple sites soon.   Thank you to Johnson and Johnson for their support of this program activity. Timestamps: (0:00)          Intro to Psoriasis Uncovered & guest welcome rheumatologist Dr. Vinod Chandran.    (0:52)          It is challenging to diagnose psoriatic arthritis with many factors leading to a delay in diagnosis. (4:56)          The start of Dr. Chandran's involvement with the PsA Diagnostic Test Grant project.   (7:55)          The different types of omics and the definition of multi-omic. (9:57)          How the multi-omic approach is used to find biomarkers relative to a specific disease pattern. (11:08)        Development of a predictive or prevention-based test using gene expression.      (13:46)        First year results identify 200 markers across different omic approaches that distinguish psoriatic arthritis from psoriasis.    (14:58)        The significance of MRNA vs mIcroRNA's use in development of a diagnostic test and how critical that is to dissemination of a                     potential test. (17:08)        Identifying the skin-joint axis in relation to different types of arthritis. (20:20)        Next steps to moving the diagnostic test research forward as a prospective study in multiple sites and the cost effectiveness of                  delivering the test.   (23:13)        If you have psoriasis, musculoskeletal, back, and joint pain think of psoriatic arthritis and be diagnosed early to maintain a good                 quality of life. Key Takeaways: ·       Given challenges associated with diagnosing psoriatic arthritis and the impact on quality of life, in 2019 NPF launched the PsA Diagnostic Test Grant project with the goal of developing an early stage test that would identify and diagnose those with psoriatic arthritis before debilitating  joint damage begins.   ·       Progress towards a PsA Diagnostic Test includes the study of multi-omic data sets where 200 distinct biomarkers have been identified leading to a greater understanding of the different pathways between psoriatic arthritis, psoriasis, and the skin joint axis.  ·       A potential diagnostic test is now moving towards the prospective study phase. Until the test is available and if joint pain is present and you have psoriasis, ask your health care provider if it could be psoriatic arthritis and treat appropriately.  Guest Bio: Vinod Chandran, MBBS, MD, DM, PhD is a rheumatologist, clinician scientist, and Director of the Gladman Krembil Psoriatic Arthritis Program, Schroeder Arthritis Institute, University Health Network and the Departments of Medicine, Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology, and the Institute of Medical Science at the University of Toronto where he is also a Professor of Medicine.

Carolyn McMakin, MA, DC - https://frequencyspecific.com     Kim Pittis, LCSP, (PHYS), MT - https://fsmsports365.com 00:22 Welcome to the FSM Podcast 01:27 FSM Advanced 2026 Event Schedule Highlights 06:07 Orthobiologics and FSM 12:20 The Importance of Patient History 19:12 Managing Chronic Pain and Patient Expectations 25:42 Teaching Experiences in Ireland 26:41 Personal Stories and Clinical Practice 27:51 Understanding Patient Perspectives 28:13 Exploring PTSD and Trauma 29:58 Treating Peripheral Neuropathy 35:00 Autoimmune Conditions and Vagus Nerve 46:30 Navigating Complex Patient Cases 52:56 Upcoming Courses and Events **Exploring the Potential of FSM in Chronic Pain Management** In the realm of modern medical practice, managing chronic pain and patient expectations is a multifaceted challenge. Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) emerges as a beacon of hope for practitioners seeking effective alternatives to conventional care. This modality offers innovative solutions for chronic issues, often unresponsive to traditional treatments, and underpins a concerted approach to harnessing the principles of orthobiologics and metabolic pathways. **Orthobiologics and FSM: Enhancing Recovery Outcomes** Orthobiologics has been a game-changer in regenerative medicine, particularly for procedures like Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections. FSM complements these procedures by offering a tailored approach to pain management and tissue healing. It's crucial to understand that the biologic process involved in healing can be supported by FSM without hindering inflammation, which is a vital part of recovery. Therefore, the application of FSM is strategically customized based on the stage of healing and the patient's specific needs. **Adapting FSM Protocols to Individual Patient Needs** It's important to emphasize that FSM protocols are not one-size-fits-all. Practitioners must assess the stage of healing and tailor FSM settings accordingly. In the context of post-PRP procedures, considerations such as the level of pain and stage of recovery influence protocol selections. Moreover, the intricate mechanisms of action in FSM require practitioners to eliminate certain frequencies, such as those that might suppress necessary inflammatory responses during healing phases. **Engaging with Patient Histories for Enhanced Therapeutic Outcomes** FSM practice thrives on the understanding that patient histories are critical to therapeutic success. Each patient's narrative provides insight into their unique experiences and expectations regarding pain management and recovery. A profound exploration of patient histories allows practitioners to piece together a comprehensive understanding, which is instrumental in tailoring FSM treatments effectively. **Integrating Emotional and Psychosocial Dimensions in Patient Care** The emotional and psychological dimensions of pain are powerful determinants of patient outcomes. Engaging with these aspects can unearth underlying issues contributing to chronic pain. Encouraging patients to envision their lives post-recovery invites a positive mindset and diminishes the psychological fatigue associated with prolonged pain management. Practitioners are urged to facilitate discussions about the patient's life without pain, fostering an environment of hope and possibility. **Educating Patients as Vital Partners in Their Treatment Journey** Ultimately, FSM practitioners should view themselves as educators and facilitators in the healing journey. Effective communication regarding prognosis, realistic outcomes, and the importance of adherence to FSM protocols can empower patients. Providing comprehensive education about their condition and treatment plan helps patients internalize the importance of active participation and compliance, ultimately optimizing their health outcomes.

Today, we had the opportunity to hear Debbie's Chronic Pain story, a patient from the United States who is using Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) for chronic regional pain syndrome (CRPS). Debbie recounted going back to when she was seven years old and suffered a knee injury, leading to a series of medical interventions. Despite numerous surgical procedures, the chronic pain persisted, and she endured multiple operations without finding relief. Eventually, Debbie was diagnosed with CRPS, marking the beginning of her battle with persistent pain. In her treatment process, Debbie started LDN with an initial dose of 1 milligram, which later required adjustment due to stomach-related issues. After starting on a lower dose and gradually increasing, Debbie noted an improvement in her condition. It took approximately six months for her to fully appreciate the benefits of LDN, which has helped manage her pain levels, albeit not without fluctuations. Debbie's account emphasizes the potential efficacy of LDN in alleviating chronic pain, and her testimonial underscores the importance of individualized dosing and gradual titration to mitigate adverse effects. This insight highlights the significance of personalized treatment strategies in managing chronic pain. Overall, Debbie's experience serves as a valuable anecdote for healthcare professionals and patients alike, shedding light on the complexities of chronic pain management and the promising role of LDN.For information on LDN, go to https://linktr.ee/ldnrtOur webinars and training courses can be purchased from https://www.ldnrtevents.com/collections/webinars-and-training-coursesWe have a list of LDN Q&As on our website https://ldnresearchtrust.org/questions-and-answersVisit our website, which is packed with information on Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) for Autoimmune Conditions, Cancers, Chronic Pain, Women's Health and more. www.ldnresearchtrust.orgWe have a very active FB Closed Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/LDNRT/

As our bodies gradually grow older, it becomes increasingly important to prioritize activities that promote flexibility, mobility, and overall well-being. In this podcast Greg & I together will explore the benefits of stretching and strength training for enhancing the quality of life. Greg gives us special insight on the subject as a former professional athlete. As we age, our bodies undergo natural changes that can affect our flexibility, mobility, and overall physical function. It's essential to understand the role of stretching and strength training in supporting our bodies as we grow older. Some of the benefits of stretching include flexibility and range of motion, improved balance and coordination, the management of chronic pain and conditions, stress reduction and even enhanced focus and concentration. We encourage you to also listen and read some of our previous articles, including “The Importance of Exercise” where we speak of the importance of adding weight-bearing exercises as well as cardio to our routines. Realize that those types of exercises are very important but they shorten the muscles, so the addition stretching will lengthen those muscles after working out for the support of musculoskeletal health.

According to the CDC, in 2016, 20.4% of the US population reported experiencing some type of chronic pain. As one of the most common reasons adults seek medical care, chronic pain has been known to have a domino-like effect, leading to other problems such as depression, opioid dependency, and an overall decrease in quality of life. So, if you are part of the 20.4%, what can be done to manage your pain? One great solution is physical therapy. My guest today, Rick Olderman, is a physical therapist, author, trainer, and pilates instructor. He started his career in physical therapy in 1996 and soon realized that the traditional physical therapy approaches that he had learned in school had not prepared him to adequately treat patients with chronic pain.
