Pain Navigators & Providers
One of the cruelest parts of being in chronic pain is the side effect of isolation. It often occurs slowly as the months and years unfold. Being in pain ideally would attract all kinds of care, compassion and support. This is rarely the case. The person is left feeling unloved, anxious and worried about how long they can go on. The reasons for the need to “go it alone” are many and often combine to make the pain even worse. Caught in this vicious cycle the landscape of life starts losing its color and turns a dull gray. The future is uncertain without anyone or anywhere to turn for relief.
The Challenge

The Present Experience of People Living with High Impact Chronic Pain 

Many experience chronic pain, perhaps in their neck/shoulders, low back, head, knees, digestion or even our jaw, interfering with an active life.

Anxiety, depression and sleep disruptions exacerbate physical discomfort.

Chronic pain gets in the way of work, family and self-esteem, hijacking life and making it hard to focus on anything else.

Adding to these challenges are changes in social fabric like stigma and increasingly high barriers to care are exhausting and interfere with important choices for a healthy lifestyle.

    • Piecemeal Care
    • Forced Taper
    • Caregiver Stress
    • Financial Burden

The Anodunos Vision, Mission and Method

A world without pain...wouldn’t that be nice?!

We’ll settle for a world in which patients work with a collaborative team of practitioners coordinated by a pain navigator to provide a personalized, comprehensive, and truly integrated care plan resulting in significantly improved outcomes.

Our goal is to improve the experience and treatment of homebound and often bedridden clients, reduce their pain and improve their overall quality of life. Using the latest evidenced-based research into brain science, pain management and the biopsychosocial model, we created two professional trainings. These trainings act as a blueprint for creating community based teams of pain navigators working and collaborating with a group of providers, coming from both complementary and traditional disciplines.

This idea was reinforced by the 2019 Health and Human Services (HHS) Task Force Report on Pain recommended combined services, collaboration between the providers, and flexibility when picking the team. Different stages in the journey through pain may require a reassessment of inputs.

With documented research supporting the efficacy of the approach, we created courses that will allow providers, healthcare systems, private industry and others to implement such programs and duplicate results.

The Navigator and Practitioner Roles

The Anodunos Method Navigator (AMN) is trained to assess a client’s needs and assemble the team of providers who best meet each client’s unique needs. AMNs are drawn from fields related to healthcare, case management, direct patient care and education. Often navigators have been living with pain themselves or have cared for family members experiencing chronic pain or long-term disabilities.

The Anodunos Method Providers (AMPs) bring their clinical expertise and build on it with the AMP training to understand the value of other healing approaches and transdisciplinary collaboration for improved client outcomes and quality of life.

Advocacy

Recognizing that the cost of care and awareness of alternative healing options are common barriers to access, Anodunos is working with pain advocacy agencies and local and state legislatures to bring about changes to how such services are compensated. Most notably, Massachusetts passed legislation requiring insurance companies to cover integrative services for pain management. Building on that success, we are working toward insurance coverage in New York State for multiple integrated approaches to reducing pain. One bill passed in 2023 requires doctors to recommend integrative services and other non-pharmacological approaches. The second bill mandating insurance reimbursement for integrative services, already written and approved by the NYS central committee, is ready for passage in early 2025. Similar bills have also been proposed in New Hampshire.

Our advocacy will continue toward a state funded pain navigator profession, as exemplified by the California Bridge Program, Medicare and Affordable Healthcare Act Navigators.

Ultimately the work of Anodunos’ advocacy is also to expand awareness of the approach and educate public and private entities on the value of this community-based program.

“Trust was established...I was involved in the decisions...”

My Anodunos facilitator listened attentively and formulated a treatment plan taking into consideration both the physical and emotional aspects of the current issue. She developed a working alliance with me and the other practitioners on my team so that trust was established and I am free to ask questions and get answers. I was involved in the decisions of what to treat and recommendations were fully explained.

“Symptoms...are connected to your entire body and your entire being.”

As a personal trainer, athlete, and actor I have always been aware that everything in one’s body is connected, however, Christine and the Anodunos program have opened my eyes to that on a deeper level. It has shown me that symptoms are not just related to the specific site at which they are occurring, rather they are connected to your entire body and your entire being. Pain (both emotional and physical) had been locked in my body in different places, which then manifested physically – the treatments we did helped unblock various parts of my body to allow all of the energy to flow, which then led to a higher level of balance.

“She coordinated all my sessions with my team so I didn't have to worry about anything!”

I feel really good. I kept hearing Jenn’s voice in my head all weekend, it was so motivating! She coordinated all my sessions with my teams so I didn’t have to worry about anything!

Feedback from our Students

Your success is our success. Together we can change the state of healthcare and create a world without pain. 

“It’s a give and take
with the client”

I learned that what you recommend as a Pain Navigator is not set in stone. It’s a give and take with the client and that’s the good part of this course. It teaches you how to discuss what the client wants with empathy. That’s a major emphasis of the course material. I learned how to listen deeply, so that clients are seen and heard, are more open to our suggestions and that they  are empowered to make the final decisions.

“...will be a major upgrade in care for our clients”

“It will be great to have other practitioners to consult with about difficult cases. Before the Anodunos Method this was rarely possible. Working as a solo provider, and even with my previous training in pain science, I still wasn’t getting the results I wanted for my clients. Working on collaborative, integrated teams will be a major upgrade in care for our clients.”
Ryan D. (Physical Therapist), 
Provider Course

“I feel prepared to work with people living with severe pain”

“The process was very good. I felt very supported, I was very happy with the training. I can’t think of anything that was missed. I got all my questions and concerns addressed throughout the  training. I do feel prepared to work with people living with severe pain and make a difference in  their lives.”
