Dr. James Choo spoke at the 2016 Spring Workers’ Compensation Conference, organized by Outpatient Diagnostic Center of Knoxville. His presentation, “Non-opioid Management for the Chronic Pain Patient,” explored a multidisciplinary approach to chronic pain care.
Dr. Choo discussed incorporating several areas of care into an individualized treatment plan. His presentation highlighted behavioral health and counseling, physical and occupational therapy, and minimally invasive procedures as approaches clinicians may consider based on a person’s needs.
The discussion emphasized looking beyond prescription medication alone when evaluating options for chronic pain management.
The presentation was part of Dr. Choo’s work to educate healthcare professionals and the broader community about multidisciplinary pain care.
