Disparities in Pain Care: Chiropractic Solutions for Patients, Communities, and Your Practice
- Registration Closed
Clinically appropriate care of patients with pain is often not widely available in today’s health care. Disparities in outcomes of pain treatment occur across a variety of diverse special populations whether defined by national origin, culture, ethnicity, race, gender, or social circumstances. As we get better at understanding the complexity of the origin and perpetuation of pain and what the most effective treatments for pain look like, the role of Doctors of Chiropractic and their evidence based clinical tool kit has advanced DCs to the front lines of first-choice interventions for patients with pain.
This webinar by Dr. Chuck Simpson will help Doctors of Chiropractic understand health disparities around pain care and offer some practical tips to better serve pain patients. It is better for patients, better for our communities and better for our profession. This webinar will focus on selected populations of pain patients that are frequently encountered in the community and often in a chiropractic office.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this activity, participants will
• Identify disparities in health outcomes for patients with pain
• Recognize how the social determinants of health affect pain problems
• Apply practical insights and tools to assist the chiropractic management of pain
