When it comes to assessing and managing pain, it is important for us to get it right. In humans' pain is what the patient says it is. In animals' pain is what we say it is. Pain is a vital sign and we are so excited to have Tasha McNerney on the show today to talk about all things chronic pain management including how to help our clients recognize pain, multimodal pain management, and more!
