We're talking about the causes of chronic back pain, which is defined as back pain that persists for more than 12 weeks.

You'll learn how chronic pain is completely different to acute pain which means that it has to be tackled in a completely different way

You'll discover the essential mindset which is the starting point for getting out of chronic back pain

You'll be shocked as David goes into more detail on some established surgical treatments that just do more harm than good.

Quote of the day

Which international influencer said

'In order to carry a positive action we must develop here a positive vision.'

Answer at the end of todays show.

This is the second half of the interview with Spine surgeon, Dr. David Hanscom

We talk about neuroplasticity, the ability of the brain to change continuously throughout your life.

How, chronic pain is more about changes in the brain and body chemistry than structural problems.

So these are the areas we have to address if we want to get out of chronic back pain.
