Understanding Chronic Pain and Addiction: Insights from Elevation Recovery

I think the answer to it is that we are, we are simultaneously biochemical, psychological, social and spiritual creatures and we have to look after all of those things.
Have you ever wondered why some people continue to experience pain long after an injury has healed? In this episode of Elevation Recovery, hosts Chris Scott and Matt Finch dive into the intricate relationship between chronic pain and addiction. They discuss how the brain can exacerbate pain by fixating on it, even when the physical injury is no longer present. This phenomenon, known as Psycho-Physiological Disorder (PPD), is just one of the many complex topics covered in this engaging episode.
The hosts also shed light on the alarming addiction crisis in America, highlighting how new technological advancements could potentially lead to new forms of addiction. But it’s not all doom and gloom. Chris and Matt share practical insights on managing chronic pain and addiction, emphasizing that recovery is a deeply personal journey requiring a multifaceted approach. They touch on various factors that can influence recovery, including diet, mental health benefits of nature, and even the impact of surfing.
The episode also explores how the pandemic and lockdowns have affected addiction and mental health, offering listeners a comprehensive view of the current landscape. Additionally, Matt Finch introduces his Ultimate Opiate Detox program, designed to help individuals conquer opioid addiction in a comfortable and effective way. Whether you’re struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable information and resources to help navigate the path to recovery.
