SUMMARY:Unlocking Chronic Pain: Adapting Care When Patients Stall
DESCRIPTION:Details:\nLength: 1 hour (structured CE credit*) \nThis webinar will be at 12 noon Eastern Standard Time (EST) and a recording will be made available to those who cannot attend the live presentation. \n*Notes: \nAlberta: This webinar has not been submitted for approval by the CCOA (a bundle of webinars will be made available for the next cycle). \nOntario: This webinar provides 1 structured CE hour \nDescription \nJoin Dr. Thistle and “The Chronic Pain Chiro” Dr. Demetry Assimakopoulos for this enlightening 1-hour discussion featuring case examples and clinical strategies you can use to unlock new benefits for chronic pain patients who have stalled under care. \nOverview \nChronic pain remains one of the most common and challenging presentations in chiropractic practice. While many patients respond well to care\, a subset fail to progress as expected\, creating clinical uncertainty for practitioners and frustration for both patient and provider. These scenarios require more than persistence with the same approach—they demand thoughtful reassessment\, clinical flexibility\, and evidence-informed adaptation. \nThis 1-hour webinar with Dr. Shawn Thistle and Dr. Demetry Assimakopoulos provides a practical framework for managing chronic pain patients who are not improving under chiropractic care. Through focused discussion of clinical reasoning\, pain mechanisms\, psychosocial influences\, and care adaptation strategies\, participants will gain actionable tools to reassess\, modify\, and optimize patient management. Emphasis will be placed on improving outcomes while maintaining patient safety\, appropriate expectations\, and professional confidence. \nBy the end of this session\, you will be able to: \n* Recognize common reasons why chronic pain patients fail to progress under care\n* Apply a structured approach to reassessing patients with persistent pain\n* Identify the role of central sensitization\, psychosocial factors\, and maladaptive beliefs in ongoing pain\n* Adapt chiropractic management strategies\, including manual therapy\, exercise\, and patient education\n* Recognize when modification of care\, co-management\, or referral is appropriate \nWho should attend? \nThis webinar is intended for chiropractors in private practice\, group clinics\, and multidisciplinary settings who manage patients with chronic or persistent pain. It is particularly relevant for clinicians seeking to improve outcomes in complex cases\, enhance clinical reasoning\, and develop more flexible\, patient-centered approaches to care. \nWhy attend? \nChronic pain patients who do not respond as expected can be among the most challenging cases in clinical practice. Without a structured approach to reassessment and care adaptation\, clinicians may default to ineffective strategies or experience uncertainty in decision-making. Chiropractors who develop skills in recognizing pain complexity and adjusting care accordingly can improve patient outcomes\, strengthen therapeutic relationships\, and enhance professional satisfaction. This webinar provides practical\, evidence-based strategies to help clinicians move beyond treatment plateaus and deliver more effective\, individualized care. \nAbout Dr. Demetry Assimakopoulos: \n \nDr. Demetry is truly the “Chronic Pain Chiro”\, specializing in evidence-based\, real-world chronic pain management. He has been featured in two E-Seminars programs produced by Dr. Thistle: \n1. All Aboard the Pain Train: A Chiropractor’s Guide to Chronic Pain (10 hours)\n2. Mastering the Biopsychosocial Approach: A Contemporary Lens for Chiropractors (4 hours)
