Pain Neuroscience Posters

Featuring the content and recognizable illustrations of Adriaan Louw's books, including Why Do I Hurt?®, his most popular pain neuroscience education book, these pain neuroscience posters explain the foundational principles behind the neuroscience of pain.

Each poster features a different theme, including: Tissues: Did You Know?; The Body's Alarm System; The Pain Cycle; and The Brain's Pain Meeting.

Ideal for Display in a Lobby or Patient Room

Sold as a set of four, each pain science poster measures 17¾" x 24" and is large enough to display on the walls of a patient room or lobby and allows for easy reading of text. The detailed, full-color illustrations are designed to generate interest and engage your patients in the learning process so they can better understand the reasons why they hurt.

Each pain neuroscience poster includes scientific support footnotes that cite sources for all data and findings. Information includes the following:

  • The Brain's Pain Meeting illustrates how regions of the brain react to the multi-tasking they must do when we experience pain
  • The Body's Alarm System demonstrates how the body's nervous system operates like an alarm system when experiencing pain
  • The Pain Cycle shows the recurring phases of how pain affects our thoughts, emotions and overall health
  • Tissues: Did You Know? explains why tissues and problems found on scans may not be the cause of ongoing pain

Sold as a set of four, these posters feature detailed, full-color illustrations.
