Nutrition is a vital tool that is underutilized in the treatment of chronic pain. Unfortunately, much of the research on nutrition and health is industry-driven and unreliable, leading to conflicting and often confusing recommendations for healthcare professionals and the public. This session leverages the expertise of 4 interdisciplinary clinicians to present the latest evidenced-based literature to improve patient outcomes and provide a more accurate and trustworthy picture of the complex relationship between nutrition and pain. Presenters will highlight specific research demonstrating the effect of nutrition on chronic pain conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, sickle cell disease and vitamin deficiencies. By shedding light on the truth behind food and inflammation connection, this presentation has the potential to improve health professionals’ ability to emphasize achievable nutrition interventions, guide quality research in this field, and ultimately, provide practical recommendations for individuals suffering from chronic pain.
