What you will learn

  • Course Summary

  • Persistent pain, particularly that affecting the musculoskeletal system, is a significant contributor to the global burden of disease. Diet plays an important role in general health, the prevention and treatment of various conditions, and promotion of wellness yet is not addressed in published guidelines for non-surgical management of patients with pain. Using the best evidence currently available, clinical decision-making processes that address macro- and micro-nutrient intake, pro- and anti-inflammatory foods, glycemic control and obesity are summarized for clinical application to improve outcomes in appropriately selected patients.
    By the end of this course, learners will be able to:
    • Recognize the general states of nutrition and pain in society, and their intersection.
    • Identify physiological consequences of inflammation, glycation and hormonal influences relative to pain, diet and healing.
    • Summarize health considerations of obesity, exercise, stress, sleep and their potential effects on pain and recovery.
