Pain Education, No Script Provided Ep 6, Conflation and Semantics

Send us Fan MailWe rethink pain from the ground up with Monica Noy, separating nociception from pain and showing how sloppy language and seductive stories distort care. We examine multiple modes of nociceptive activation, challenge “root cause” thinking, and push for ethical, precise explanations that validate lived experience.• nociception as necessary for pain, not equivalent to pain• immune, neuroinflammatory, cellular, and prolonged stress pathways activating nociception• the nail-in-the-boot anecdote clarified and deconflated• risks of guru narratives and circular brain-first explanations• the pitfalls of “root cause” and regional interdependence• pain-driven movement changes versus movement as cause• clinical descriptors as mechanisms of nociception, not pain types• social determinants as context, not convenient causal levers• semantics as shared meaning that improves assessment and carePlease subscribe so you can be the first to listen to new episodesIf you enjoyed this episode, share to your favorite social media platformsPain Education No Script Provided is a self-directed course which is now available for purchase on my website, the CEBE.comIf you'd like to financially support my podcast, please consider making a small donation by clicking on the support button or visiting buymeacoffee.com/helloobThe Massage Science Podcast and my company, The Centre for Evidence-Based Education (The CEBE), are now official partners with Noterro.Partnering with them feels like a natural alignment with our mission to support busy clinicians.Get Noterro free for 44 days!Noterro makes clinic management easy with scheduling, billing, and charting all in one placeSupport the showHead on over to my website.
