Holistic Solutions to Chronic Pain with Dr. Stracks and Dr. Koushik

Enjoyed listening, looking forward to seeing the documentary. Feel compelled to comment on a couple of questions during the discussion. I think it was: "What % of pain is MB related or How much is chronic pain MB caused?" The answer is 100%. Actually, all pain is mind-body; all pain, whether acute or chronic, is experienced through the three domains: bio-pyscho-social. Because the brain is attached to the body 100% of the time, and 100% of nociception is processed in the brain (including the Amygdala) all pain is biological, psychological and social. The three domains influence the pain a person experiences. We've got to stop the unfortunate separation of physical treatments for "physical causes" and mental health treatments for psychological causes. This reductionist model, continues to confuse/confound the understanding and treatment of pain in complex systems The second question i felt compelled to weigh in on is regarding evidence available for MB treatment effectiveness for chronic pain. In addition to the Boulder Back Pain study that proved the effectiveness of PRT, there is a good amount of high level evidence, RCT and systematic reviews & meta-analysis with excellent outcomes with providing Pain Neuroscience Education, plus other MB interventions for chronic back pain.
