Pain Relief Solutions for Businesses
As an employer, you strive for a team of healthy, happy employees with minimal absenteeism and maximum productivity. However, chronic pain can disrupt this goal. With Pain-Changer's pain relief solutions, you can reduce the impact of pain on your company's performance.
An Invisible Group
Did you know that one in five employees struggles with chronic pain on a daily basis? Take a moment to reflect on this within your organization. Does this align with your perception of the team?
If you find that there are more affected individuals than you initially thought, you're not alone. Often, people with chronic pain belong to an invisible group. They may not readily discuss their pain because it's personal, and they often feel misunderstood.
In addition to personal challenges for employees, this can unfortunately have consequences for your organization, such as:
More Sick Leave
The average number of absentee days for chronically ill individuals is more than twice as high (31 days) compared to those without chronic conditions (14 days), according to research by Pfizer.
Extended Sick Leave
According to Selis, chronic pain in Belgium is even one of the leading causes (33%) of extended sick leave.
Reduced Productivity
Pain is often accompanied by fatigue, reduced physical fitness, and concentration issues. In fact, a survey conducted in 2021 found that 12% of respondents reported being hindered in their regular work activities due to pain (Zorginzicht, 2017).
Side Effects Medication
Of those experiencing pain-related hindrance, nearly 23 percent were prescribed opioids (strong painkillers) (CBS, 2017). We know that the side effects of these medications can negatively impact work performance.
A new approach to chronic pain
In 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) officially recognized chronic pain as a standalone medical condition. This means that pain should be considered and treated independently of its original cause, often physical damage.
Unfortunately, currently available therapies and painkillers often prove insufficient in relieving long-term pain, especially as they still primarily target the physical damage (the original cause of the pain). Several studies indicate that 79% of patients consider the treatment of chronic pain inadequate (Zorginzicht, 2017).
Scientific evidence increasingly demonstrates the crucial role of the brain in perpetuating chronic pain. This is where our expertise lies.

Wat kunnen werknemers verwachten?
De e-learning bestaat uit zes Contextual Healing thema's die samen de kern van chronische pijn aanpakken.
Binnen elk thema doorloop je dezelfde stappen:
Inzicht & verdieping
Aan de hand van kennisclips, reflecties, quizzes en toepassingsopdrachten leer je begrijpen hoe pijn werkt. Hierin vertalen we compleze stof naar begrijpelijke metaforen.
Reflectie & gesprek
Na afloop van de verdieping kun je de inzichten bespreken met een professional van Pain-Changer. Deze stap is optioneel.
Gedragspsychologie
Kennis opdoen is één ding, maar gedrag veranderen blijkt vaak te uitdagend. Daarom krijg je theorie en concrete handvatten vanuit gedragswetenschap. Ook handig voor je dagelijks leven.
Challenge
Een kleine, haalbare opdracht om het geleerde meteen toe te passen in je dagelijks leven.
Tussenmeting
Aan het eind van elk thema meet je of je pijn of functioneren al is veranderd. Zo pak je grip.
