Mechanical vs Biopsychosocial Aspects of Pain with David Jeter

The Catapult Effect

In this week’s episode of The Pain Changer, physical therapist David Jeter joined me to talk about the mechanical aspects of pain vs the biopsychosocial aspects of pain.
Dave founded Acceleration Physical Therapy in Spokane, WA in 2007, and specializes in orthopedic manual physical therapy. He loves to get outside with all of the varieties of activities in the Pacific Northwest. Physical therapy offers Dave a way to make an impact on a patient's life by improving mobility and dynamic stability. Movement is life.
Dave is a down-to-earth and very perceptive physical therapist. In speaking to him, it’s clear that he loves what he does, and he’s very in tune with his patients. One of the things he shared was that when he can help to lower the pain of someone who has a chronic condition, that’s the best feeling for him.
In this episode, you will learn:

• About mechanical vs biopsychosocial aspects of pain
• How fear and pain play together and how he sees that in his practice
• Various subconscious expressions of pain
• The difference in mindset between the person who identifies with chronic pain and the person who has just experienced pain for years
