What is the biomedical or traditional model of healthcare?

What advice do we give people who have had chronic pain and received treatment over the years in the biomedical model of practice? Well, we try and explain the difference between taking a biomedical approach and taking a biopsychosocial approach. Here's the long and short of it: the traditional or biomedical approach to healthcare is based not he idea that pain or limitations result from biological or physical issue. Maybe you have a muscle imbalance, or a posture issue. And, if we just take care of that physical symptom, then in theory your pain will go away. However, what we know from he research and literature around pain is that, this explanation and approach often falls short, especially in instances of chronic or persistent musculoskeletal pain. We're humans. And humans are incredibly complex. So complex, in fact, that treatments that may work for one person with low back pain may not work for another person with the same diagnosis. Rafael E. Salazar II, MHS, OTR/L saw this frequently when he worked at the VA Hospital treating veterans with chronic pain. So how do we account for this difference between people in order to effectively treat and address their choleric or persistent pain? By taking a biopsychosocial approach to treatment. As Rafael explains in this video, a biopsychosocial approach takes into account not just the physical symptoms, but also those other factors that may affect a person's experience of pain.
