In this episode, Clinical Psychologist Dr Damon Ashworth interviews Clinical Neuropsychologist Dr Harvey Jones on helping people to improve chronic pain.
Chronic pain impacts up to 20% of the population, so there is a good chance that you or someone you know is significantly impacted by this.
Together, they discuss:
* what is chronic pain?
* what are the main differences between acute and chronic pain
* why chronic pain does not always mean that harm or damage is being done to the tissue where the pain is coming from?
* why pain is a perception rather than a sensation
* how to increase or decrease our pain response
* why getting a scan or paying too much attention to scan results may not be the best option for chronic pain
* if pain medication can be helpful
and much more.
