Coping with Chronic Pain: The Role of Spirituality and Religion

Orthopedic problems coupled with chronic pain remain a challenge to treat and medically manage. Understanding a patient's spirituality and/or religion can be one factor that can be used to influence the management and experience of chronic pain. Join guest presenter Harold G. Koenig, MD, Director of the Center for Spirituality, Theology and Health at Duke University Medical Center, as he presents research findings that explain the role spirituality and religion play in coping with chronic pain and discusses how healthcare professionals and patients may incorporate and apply these approaches.
