This ACRM Pre-Conference workshop will detail how health systems can educate all staff members on how to speak to a patient in pain: namely, use of pain neuroscience education, "psychologically informed" practice, and promotion of non-pharmacological pain treatment interventions as the first line defense over opioids for patients via implementation of a "Pain Control & Comfort Menu." Participants will also learn a multitude of non-pharmacological interventions such as exercise, manual therapy, modalities, selected relaxation strategies and other mind-body techniques to foster self-management of pain, and to improve their ability to speak to patients in pain via a role play format.
