Dr. David Hanscom defines chronic pain and discusses the physiological and environmental origins of chronic pain. He talks about how to deal with chronic illnesses such as diabetes using neurological and anti-inflammatory tools. Tune in to learn about how people can pursue dynamic healing as an alternative to mainstream chronic pain management.
David Hanscom, MD practiced complex orthopedic spine surgery for 32 years. He quit his practice in Seattle, WA to present his insights into solving chronic pain, which evolved from his own 15-year battle. He eventually escaped from the ordeal and discovered that mental pain is the biggest issue. Anxiety is the pain.
“The biggest block to healing is actually saying, okay, I can do this. I'm taking responsibility. Once people do that, it’s game on.”
