Great message. It is very refreshing to hear a doctor speak on other methods for managing chronic pain. Sometimes physicians are known for only prescribing medication for tackling this ailment. Not to say that medication is not necessary, but this just offers something holistic as an additional option to enhance your life if you happen to deal with chronic pain. Good job Dr. Peterson.
I do all of these things and im still in pain without pain meds i had no life infact once I started taking pain meds i was able to exercise and do things i use to love
The statistics hummingbird speaks of is minute to the other important information and perspective you’ve given. I have a passion for health and fitness, but don’t always choose the right thing! Aside from motivating me with your words to stay on track, you’ve broken down a better way to manage pain & helped me to understand that pills aren’t the answer for everything. Thank you for this ❤
As one of those “kids in wheelchairs” that keep on living life, yes, I did. Lifelong degenerative diseases catch up to you. The support systems vanish, as does access to care. People love the pictures of cute kids beating the odds. You don’t see us later, when older and struggling with ADL. That’s not inspirational. Many of us suffer in silence, our pride won’t let us show the world our struggles. Especially after being the “amazing inspirations” we once were. They just wait for us to “die off” as quoted by one who shall not be named. Shame on him. I do agree with setting a baseline and working to improve. It’s individual, as true quality health care should be. It’s just not like that in the US. Not anymore, and it’s sad.
The pain of parents arguing and worrying if they will separate and chronic nerve pain has no comparison. I’ve had both and the latter is 10000x worse. It’s this ignorance that makes dealing with pain doctors so frustrated - they have no clue.
It’s inaccurate to say pain medication makes you more sensitive to pain over time. The research uses the words “may” or “can”. It was a study of rats with neuropathic (nerve) pain and dubbed hyperalgesia. Not really common in people. Fear of pain is understandable. Blanket statements such as, “pain meds make you more sensitive to pain” and “the US uses 80% of the worlds pain medication” are misleading and problematic.
Not sure what you mean. There’s tons of randomized studies that demonstrate opioid induced hyperalgesia - cause and effect - any quick Pubmed search will show that.
Agreed. I don’t think she was intentionally trying to mislead with that 80% comment but it is indeed incorrect/not precise enough. Its true for “Hydrocodone” because that type of opioid is only used in two countries I think - the rest of the world uses oxy, morphine, codeine, DHC, etc. The other thing is about US healthcare - a huge amount of insurances don’t cover or only partially cover treatments such as acupuncture, chiropractic, massage, etc. and for some people paying these fees on their own or not feasible. A pill, although a temporary treatment, is dramatically less expensive for insurance companies to pay for than actual healing methods.
There's currently a wave of unawareness and lack of understanding of Education or more push away from scientific evidence research and people with Brilliant Minds who have already researched this issue. I think that to admit that there's more a political problem over medications and a lack of responsibility leading to fear of spreading false evidence lack stimulus. This is Really unawareness manifestation of society fearing drug abuse. So people that break the rule of law get away with crime and use excuse that they are in pain instead take the pill and sell it in the street. Selling pills and abuse is disfunction. Lack of integrity in America war on drug and punishment. Poor ethics is blaming epidemics on addiction and forgetting accountability. love is joy and miswiring in the brain physically error on mind complex result of negative ( rejection = pain hurt) experiences that couse as an individual neuron to go stray in pins and needle in there 🧠. 😇👻 pain opides block pain receptors 🤍
If more doctors took a holistic approach to treating pain like the one described in this talk, that change could probably help put an end to the opioid epidemic.
Amazing job and presentation! Very well detailed

It’s not 80%. It’s 30%

I agree
Apparently she hasn’t had a ruptured disc in her spine!
So much false information.

I'm afraid this is more 'anti drugs' propaganda. Thus, I'm afraid.
As opposed to what exactly - more drugs? Is that the answer?
Tell me more please 😊
