Pain affects individuals of all ages and backgrounds. The United States
Department of Health and Human services declared that "patients with
acute and chronic pain in the United States face a crisis because of
significant challenges in obtaining adequate care, resulting in profound
physical, emotional, and societal costs" (2019). This webinar will
provide OT practitioners with a better understanding to the
biopsychosocial model for pain as well as the biological, psychological,
and sociological factors that contribute to the development of pain.
