MM in multimodal complex therapy

Scientific WS leader:
Dr. med. Kay Niemier
Head Physician Pain and Back Center West Mecklenburg
Park Street 12
19230 Hagenow
kay.niemier@wmk-hvb.de

Max. Number of participants: 60

Course content (program):
Multimodal interdisciplinary diagnosis (IMA) and therapy (IMST) of chronic pain disorders have become established and are scientifically one of the few evaluated procedures in the treatment of patients with chronic pain. IMA and IMST are based on the model of "functional restoration", i.e. the restoration of complex functions. Functional thinking and action is also the basis of manual medicine and the emerging field of establishing functional medicine. Functional medicine understands function from cellular, tissue, structural, systemic function to psychosocial function and complex neuromodulation of nociception. Manual medicine with its specific (manual) diagnostics and therapy of secondary functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system is an important component of functional medicine and thus of IMA and IMST. In this workshop, the complex interrelationships and the consequences for the clinical everyday life will be discussed.
