Therapy Thoughts: Understanding Chronic Neck Pain

Karl Buche explores why chronic neck pain can persist long after a seemingly minor injury—and why tissue damage alone doesn’t tell the whole story. Karl shares a powerful clinical comparison between a patient who developed long-term neck pain after a low-speed car accident and retired demolition derby drivers who experienced thousands of high-speed collisions, yet had surprisingly low rates of chronic neck pain. The key difference? Context, stress, fear, and the brain’s interpretation of threat. This video highlights how: → Stress, unpredictability, and loss of control can amplify pain responses → Fear and meaning assigned to an injury can drive persistent symptoms → Educating patients can reduce fear and improve outcomes → Pain is influenced by much more than biomechanics alone Using relatable examples like this can help clinicians shift patient beliefs, calm the nervous system, and open the door to more effective care. If you’d like to better understand the science behind pain, fear, and central sensitization—and learn how to apply these concepts clinically—these topics are explored in depth in our Understanding Pain course and Advanced Evaluation and Treatment of Complex Pain course. 👉 Learn More Here - Complex Pain: https://glseminars.com/courses/view-c... 👉 Learn More Here - Understanding Pain: https://glseminars.com/courses/view-c...
