Chronic Pain - What To Do About It

In the previous video, we discussed the reason how chronic pain conditions develop through the phenomenon known as ‘Central Sensitization”, stemming out of sustained inflammation. Congratulations – knowing how this works is half the battle!

In this follow-up video, we’ll be examining the methods that I prescribe my patients in combating their chronic pain conditions. Stress, Diet & Physical Activity all play a very key role in reducing peripheral inflammation, and therefore reversing Central Sensitization.

If you know anyone who you feel could benefit even a little bit from watching this video, please remember to share/comment/like/subscribe.

PS: Apologies on the delay for this video – the end of the year is always the busiest time of year. I’ll be returning to a more frequent schedule now that 2023 is upon us. See you soon!
