Chronic Pain Care: When Guidelines Don’t Fit

<p>What if the guideline isn’t wrong—but incomplete?</p><p>And what if your patient isn’t “non-compliant”—just complex?</p><p>In this episode, I’m joined by Joost Van Wijchen to explore the tension between clinical guidelines and the messy reality of practice. We unpack the concept of <em>mindlines</em>—the experience-shaped frameworks that actually guide what we do—and why uncertainty isn’t a flaw in care, but part of it.</p><p>You’ll learn:</p><ul><li>Why guidelines are population-informed—but patients are personal</li><li>How “mindlines” shape clinical reasoning more than we realize</li><li>Why outcome measures like the Oswestry don’t tell the whole story</li><li>How the capability approach shifts focus from impairments to meaningful freedom</li><li>Practical ways to navigate uncertainty without losing clinical integrity</li><li>How to co-construct care instead of imposing solutions</li></ul><p>If you’ve ever felt the tension between measurable outcomes and meaningful outcomes, this conversation will resonate.</p><p>If this episode challenges or sharpens your thinking, subscribe and share it with a colleague.</p><p><br/>*********************************************************************<br/>📸 - Follow us on Instagram  -  https://www.instagram.com/modernpaincare/<br/><br/>🐦 - Follow us on Twitter -  https://www.twitter.com/modernpaincare/<br/><br/>🎙️ - Listen to our Podcast - https://www.modernpaincare.com<br/><br/>____________________________________<br/>Modern Pain Care is a company dedicated to spreading evidence-based and person-centered information about pain, prevention, and overall fitness and wellness</p>
