Dr. Justin Thompson: Revolutionizing Pain Management in Addiction Recovery

So you know, sometimes patients want to go to the big hospitals, and I try to discourage that, because I say, you know, it's going to be more difficult a lot of times for us to even get the imaging back, and also it's going to cost more, probably for you, depending on the plan.
Ever wondered how pain management and addiction treatment intersect? In this eye-opening episode of Recovery Lab, Dr. Justin Thompson dives deep into the evolving landscape of pain management and its crucial role in addiction recovery. Dr. Thompson brings a fresh perspective, emphasizing the shift from merely masking pain to fixing it with more sustainable treatments. His approach highlights the psychological aspects of pain, making it clear that understanding the mind is just as important as treating the body.
He also discusses the significance of medication-assisted treatment, advocating for compassion and understanding towards those battling addiction. One of the standout points in this episode is Dr. Thompson's discussion on innovative techniques like neurostimulation, offering new hope for those in chronic pain. If you're curious about the future of pain management and how it ties into addiction recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
