Biopsychosocial model

The biopsychosocial model is a framework for understanding pain that goes beyond physical injury.

It recognizes that biological, psychological, and social factors all play a role in how pain is experienced and managed. For example, two patients with the same injury may experience very different levels of pain depending on stress, mood, support systems, or previous experiences. This model is the cornerstone of modern pain medicine, emphasizing a holistic and multidisciplinary approach.
