dc.description.abstract	This study examined the theoretical application of empirically supported chronic pain interventions of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Multimodal treatment of chronic pain, to that of non-chronic pain for the purpose of determining its effectiveness for treating and preventing chronic pain development. A thorough literature review on each of these interventions along with an analysis of their theoretical basis was undertaken. The results indicated that application of these treatments to non-chronic pain was not only theoretically valid and beneficial, but also necessary to achieve maximum potential for successful treatment. Furthermore, objective arguments were brought forward that supported the possibility of a decrease in development and prevalence of chronic pain as a result of this theoretical intervention.
