We've been prescribing opioids essentially to treat trauma and grief.
Ever wondered why so many people are stuck on opioids for chronic pain? In this episode of 'Let's Talk: Mind, Body, Spirit', Scott Webb sits down with Dr. Davis from Sierra Tucson to uncover the complexities behind opioid prescriptions and how they’ve evolved over the last 25 years. Dr.
Davis, with his rich background in orthopedics, anesthesiology, and pain medicine, reveals that opioids have often been used as a crutch for deeper issues like trauma and grief rather than just physical pain. It's a startling revelation that challenges the conventional wisdom around pain management. Together, they explore the intertwining of mental and physical health, offering a fresh perspective on why opioids are not the ultimate solution for chronic pain. Dr.
Davis highlights the importance of addressing the 'hyphen' between mind and body, emphasizing that many chronic pain sufferers experience pain originating from their nervous system. But don't lose hope! This episode isn't just about identifying the problem; it’s packed with practical advice on how to safely transition off opioids. From behavioral therapies to physical activity programs, Dr. Davis and Scott Webb delve into comprehensive strategies that combine medical and psychological approaches to manage pain effectively.
Whether you're someone battling opioid dependence or a healthcare provider looking for better ways to support your patients, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable steps towards a healthier, opioid-free life.
