Chronic pain is more than a symptom. It’s a whole-person condition that affects both biology and behavior, and impacts daily life. In this fireside conversation, Override’s Dr. Christina Le-Short and the Long Island Jewish Medical Center’s Dr. Xavier Jimenez share practical insights on why effective pain care must go beyond pain scores and focus on restoring function, confidence, and quality of life. You’ll learn:

• Why chronic pain is fundamentally different from acute pain, and why quick fixes rarely work
• How the nervous system changes over time and what that means for care planning
• The impact of fear avoidance, disability, and pain-related thinking patterns
• Where traditional care models fall short and how interdisciplinary teams can close those gaps
