Chronic pain ends up being a sort of a repetitive recycling circuit inside the person's brain.
Imagine waking up every day in pain, where even the simplest tasks feel like climbing a mountain. Chronic pain is a reality for millions, and it’s not just about physical discomfort; it's an intricate mix of emotions and symptoms. In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods chats with Dr. Paul Christo, a leading expert in pain management, to unravel this complex issue.
They discuss the often-overlooked link between chronic pain and addiction, and why opioids, while effective for acute pain, can be a double-edged sword for chronic conditions. Dr. Christo shares his wisdom on alternative treatments like physical therapy, meditation, and even the role of diet in managing pain. He emphasizes finding a balance between effective pain relief and the risk of addiction, offering practical advice and resources for those seeking support.
This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with chronic pain, providing actionable insights and compassionate guidance.
