When Should I see a Healthcare Professional - The Region Beta Paradox

The Back Pain Podcast

In this episode hear about the region Beta paradox -the phenomenon that people can sometimes recover more quickly from a major incident and intensive pain than from mild pain or a less distressing experience

Rob also discusses the importance of explaining to your healthcare professional why you have made an appointment and what you want to get back to doing to ensure the treatment plan is successful

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• People often mistakenly think it will take longer to recover from a major incident or intensive pain than when they have a mild pain or mild distressing experience
• We often only take action when the pain reaches a particular threshold
• When something isn’t too bad we may choose to ignore it
• When it’s awful we will do something about it taking action that makes it better faster
• As a patient it’s important to tell your practitioner why you have booked in now and what you want to get back to doing
• Explaining ‘why’ helps to inform the direction of the treatment plan
• It's more than just making the pain better its getting you back to the activities you want to do

BEST MOMENTS

‘You may get stuck in region Beta where the less worse thing lasts longer than the worse thing’

‘If we don’t know what you want to get back to, we might not fully prepare you for the demands of it’
