Treating the Pain You Can't See

When a new client asks, "When can I get back to normal?" my first thought is often: this person is in denial. The most seriously injured people are frequently the ones who try to "tough it out," which can lead to long-term chronic pain and devastating consequences.

In this episode of Unseen Impact, personal injury attorney Rory Pendergast sits down with Pain Management Specialist Dr. Kasendorf to discuss the unseen side of injury. They explore the dangers of denial, why focusing on restoring function is more important than just managing pain, and the holistic "pain alleviation" approach that every accident victim needs to know about. This is a crucial conversation for anyone recovering from an injury.
