Qi Conference-Holistic Model of Pain Treatment
This presentation explores how both research and lived experience contribute to a more holistic understanding of pain and its management. It traces the evolution from the traditional biomedical model—where pain was viewed primarily as a sign of tissue injury—to the contemporary biopsychosocial model, which recognizes the complex interplay among the nervous system, psychological factors, and social context.
