Chronic pain experts are not physicians. Chronic pain is a broad category that includes many conditions and causes. The people who live day to day with chronic pain are the fundamental authorities on their specific situation. Adjunct Lecturer, mentor and Visiting Scholar of Stanford University, Dr. David Sobel, explains why chronic pain sufferers must become experts in the conditions they face and how to use self-management techniques to improve both physical and emotional experiences around chronic pain. We talk with Co-Author Dr. Sobel about his second edition release of, Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Pain: Getting Your Life Back, part of a comprehensive international chronic condition management program called The Self-Management Resource Center.
