Webinar Series:
Pain Medication Education and Resources
The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation Paralysis
Resource Center (PRC) will be hosting a three-part
webinar series focusing on pain medication education
and resources.
On January 23, February 20, and March 13, the health series
will offer an hour-long webinar with each session focusing on a specific
question in regard to pain medication for those living with spinal cord
injuries or another form of physical disability.
The first
webinar will focus on the question: “What is my pain
medication?” The topics covered in the session will be an introduction to
a fundamental baseline of pain medications, understanding types of pain
caused by living with paralysis, and the corresponding medications. There
will also be a discussion on potential resources for staying updated
about pain medications. Future sessions will cover opioids, opioid
addiction, and opioid tapering options.
Hosting the session is Jay Gupta, RPh, MSc, MTM Specialist
& C-IAYT. He is the Director of Pharmacy and Integrative Health at
Harbor Homes in Nashua, NH, as well as an MTM consultant and Yoga
Therapist. Jay also is the co-founder of RxRelax, LLC and YogaCaps, Inc.
All webinar sessions will be hosted from 12 pm-1pm EST and
will be archived on the Reeve Foundation’s Youtube channel for viewing. Registry for the webinars can be
found on the Reeve
Foundation’s events page.
