Dietary Supplements for Pain Management Dietary supplement approaches are theoretically an attractive option due to their ability to modulate pain through
reducing deficiency, oxidative stress and inflammation. Unfortunately, the many options available as well as
confusion regarding how to choose among them makes this an option one that is often sub-optimally utilized. This
presentation will examine the current evidence behind supplements as well as how they can be incorporated with
dietary modification to optimize pain. Presenter(s): Robert Bonakdar |

the mechanisms underlying music therapy e.g., neuromatrix theory of pain, neurologic music therapy, and mind body medicine. Recent investigations of its efficacy and most effective clinical strategies will be presented, and invivo
demonstrations with live music will enable participants to experience a sampling of music-facilitated stress and pain management techniques. Presenter(s): Suzanne Hanser |

Option A | Primal Reflex Release Technique (PRRT) Participant will be able to identify facilitated muscles, immediately reduce trigger point/regions through manual means and discuss how primal reflexes can facilitate pain pathways. Presenter(s): Chuck Renner
|
|
|
Option B | Postural Techniques from Gohkale Method This session will review and practice posture building blocks, employ shoulder roll technique to improve upper body posture, preform gentle neck lengthening techniques, and discuss several attributes of healthy "primal posture" as taught by the Gokhale Method. Presenter(s): Quigley Raleigh
|
|
|
Option C | Yoga & Posture for Pain Management This session will review yoga meanings and uses that may be proven significantly helpful in chronic pain management. In the session attendees will develop self awareness through breathing and focusing techniques, using the breath as a focal point and learn to asses how to work with chronic pain, thus learning to tolerate discomfort in a relaxed/calm/peaceful way (no force) starting in the most gentle way and gradually building up to a more active practice (carefully sequenced) as the intensity of pain diminishes. Presenter(s): Victoria Garcia Drago
