Greg Lehman is one of the presenters on the PRO Chiropractic Online CE Series. I was fortunate to have flagged him down from his busy lecturing schedule to get this hour of conversation about Pain Science in! Greg is a chiropractor based out of Canada.
Some of the fine points we go into are:
- building your cup
- fear avoidance behavior
- the pain is just an alarm concept
- his background of how he came to think how he does
- chiropractic as a profession
Greg Lehman Bio:
"Prior to my clinical career I was fortunate enough to receive a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council MSc graduate scholarship that permitted me to be one of only two yearly students to train with Professor Stuart McGill in his Occupational Biomechanics Laboratory subsequently publishing more than 20 peer reviewed papers in the manual therapy and exercise biomechanics field.
I was an assistant professor at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College teaching a graduate level course in Spine Biomechanics and Instrumentation as well conducting more than 20 research experiments while supervising more than 50 students.
I have lectured on a number of topics on reconciling treatment biomechanics with pain science, running injuries, golf biomechanics, occupational low back injuries and therapeutic neuroscience. While I have a strong biomechanics background I was introduced to the field of neuroscience and the importance of psychosocial risk factors in pain and injury management almost two decades ago. I believe successful injury management and prevention can use simple techniques that still address the multifactorial and complex nature of musculoskeletal disorders.
I am active on social media and consider the discussion and dissemination of knowledge an important component of responsible practice."
Within the course on PRO Chiropractic Online CE, he covers the following:
- HOUR 3 (CE hrs 1): Practical application of pain biology in literature and targeting educational message to person in lumbar spine cases
- HOUR 4 (CE hrs 1): Improve our skills of delivering key messages to promote healthy behavior and begin cognitive restructuring and addressing unhelpful beliefs with key message of pain biology education in lumbar spine cases
