The focus of this presentation is about unresolved psychological trauma, and it's impact on the development of chronic pain syndrome. Special attention will be given to the geriatric population and chronic pain syndrome, however, the discussion does include all age groups. This presentation will help the practitioner identify the differences between acute pain and chronic pain, learn about the different treatment modalities for chronic pain, and give some case examples of the examples of the efficacy of these treatments.
