Understanding persistent pain
Plain-language conversations about pain science, spine, nerve, and joint conditions, and the questions people bring to an appointment.
Speaking & patient education
Make complex pain
conversations clearer.
Good education helps people understand the language of pain care, ask thoughtful questions, and take a more informed role in conversations about their health.
Discuss an educational collaborationTopics & audiences
Useful education.
A human conversation.
I welcome discussions with event organizers, healthcare teams, and organizations developing patient-facing education. The audience and learning goal should shape the conversation.
Making sense of treatment options
Education about the purpose of treatments, questions to ask, and how to discuss expectations with a treating clinician.
Patient participation in care
Conversations about movement, sleep, everyday recovery, and using education to make clinical discussions more understandable.
