Dr. Richard McIlmoyle has been a practicing chiropractor for 20+ years with a special interest and post graduate education in pain management. He has presented internationally and currently provides instruction to chiropractors through private continuing education courses as well as through PainBC. Additionally, he sits on the CCRF board of directors as the Chair of the Research committee.
Most recently he is excited to be participating as a mentor to other regulated health care providers through the BC Adaptive mentorship network (a collaboration between PainBC and the Center for Effective Practice).
Understanding of the pain experience and its complexity is a critical component missing in every single health care curriculum and most continuing education. It is critical to update EVERY health care provider’s understanding surrounding mechanisms of pain and recovery. We must move towards thinking of the body more like an ecosystem than a machine.
