“Whole-person” approaches have emerged as effective alternatives in treating chronic pain as the workers’ compensation industry moves to reduce opioid use. But selecting the right modality for individual employees and getting all stakeholders on board remain barriers to adopting these approaches. Learn about the options possible under the workers’ comp system, such as treating psychosocial issues, offering cognitive behavioral therapy and striving for functional restoration. You’ll discover pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions, as well as strategies for fostering stakeholder collaboration while challenging common beliefs about how chronic pain should be treated and paid for.
