Returning to work after a painful injury can be very difficult if the pain persists and becomes disabling itself
Description
Returning to work after a painful injury can be very difficult if the pain persists and becomes disabling itself. Quite often, people who are pain disabled learn maladaptive behavioral responses to pain that can cause disability to persist and may preclude return to work. Effective treatment techniques to address this problem have been developed. People who, in the past have been unable to return to work can be helped to reestablish useful lives and return to productive society.
This program describes disabling pain in terms of the “Symptom Magnification Syndrome” a learned behavioral response to chronic pain. Techniques for identification and treatment of SMS are presented.
