The Chronic Pain Presentation is aimed at educating the public on the basic principles of the Neuroscience of Pain\, the difference between Acute and Chronic Pain\, and the differen t conservative options that are available to help. With the Chronic Pain P rogram\, we want the patient's to take an active roll in their recovery. A ll people are encouraged to come\, patients and providers\, in order to ed ucate themselves and others\, and to empower people to regain control of t heir lives and improve their function. Rachel and Jake truly believe that in order to begin to manage the Opioid crisis that we are in\, the focus n eeds to be on prevention. Therefore\, starting at the root of the problem the class aims at educating people what Pain is on a Neuroscience level in order to have appropriate expectations about their pain and how to proper ly manage it in a conservative way. The Chronic Pain Presentation is offer ed for free on the First Thursday of every month\, from 6-7pm in the McGow n room at FMH.\n\n\nPresenters:\nJake Kretschmar: Jake was born in North D akota and attended the University of Mary completing his Bachelor of Exerc ise Science\, Associates of Business Management\, and Doctorate of Physica l Therapy. Jake began work as a Traveling Physical Therapist working all o ver the country in North Dakota\, Minnesota\, Tennessee\, Maine\, Texas\, Utah\, Arizona\, Oregon\, Washington\, and Alaska in many different settin gs including Outpatient Orthopedics\, Inpatient Rehab\, Skilled Nursing\, and Home Health before eventually taking a permanent job at Fairbanks Memo rial Hospital 6 years later. Throughout Jake's travels\, he noticed that t he treatment of Chronic Pain was falling short of the patient's desired ou tcomes. Many of the clinicians he observed were only treating a small port ion of what could be causing the patient's pain and dysfunction\, often ti mes using only passive modalities. Motivated to make a difference\, Jake b egan studying the Neuroscience of Pain and started to use a biopsychosocia l approach which was aimed at addressing all aspects that could contribute to a patient's chronic pain suffering. With the knowledge Jake had receiv ed form studying the Neuroscience of Pain\, he was able to begin seeing lo ng term positive results in the patient's he was treating. This success mo tivated Jake to work with Rachel Campbell to develop the Chronic Pain Mana gement Program at FMH to educate the public on what Chronic Pain is\, how Chronic Pain can be conservatively managed\, and to empower the patient to take an active roll in their recovery from Chronic Pain. \n\nRachel Campb ell: Rachel was born in Canada and completed her Bachelor of Science in Ki nesiology at the University of New Brunswick\, Canada\, and then went on t o complete her Masters of Physical Therapy at the University of Toronto\, Canada. Rachel worked for 2 years in an Orthopedic Sports Clinic before de ciding to move to USA to become a Travelling PT\, in order to incorporate her love of travelling with her passion of Physical Therapy. She worked th roughout Texas and California for 2 years before moving to Alaska for a sh ort-term contract at FMH\, but realized how much she loved the community o f Fairbanks and therefore took a permanent position and has been here for 4 years! Within the first year of working in Fairbanks\, Rachel began to s ee first-hand the large population of Chronic Pain within our community an d felt helpless as a practitioner as everything she tried did not seem to help. Therefore\, she began taking courses in the Neuroscience of Pain to improve her skills and knowledge about the current research and best pract ice guidelines to better equip herself to help patients in Chronic pain. H er passion for helping People in Chronic pain combined with the increasing number of people seeking non-conservative methods (prescribed and non-pre scribed Opioid abuse) to treat their pain\, helped fuel an idea to start a Chronic Pain Management Program at FMH.
