About this Conference:

This day-long, live activity for the interprofessional team incorporates lectures and skills sessions focusing on integrative approaches to pain management. This year's conference will include current trends and leading edge therapies in the management of chronic pain; including functional medicine, adjunctive pain medications, setting appropriate treatment expectations with the patient, and the state of affairs with medication-assisted treatment (MAT). The conference will include several skills sessions through which learners can gain practical knowledge of techniques proven to help treat pain in a non-pharmacologic manner, such as ear seed acupuncture, National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) protocol, and a yoga session focusing on breathing, visualization, and mindfulness.
