Crushing Chronic Pain

About this episode

Britney Dea discusses chronic pain and its psychological aspects with Dr David D. Clarke.

An astounding 50 million Americans suffer from chronic pain. Our host, Britney Dea, speaks with Dr David D. Clarke who says doctors often have no idea what is causing a patient's chronic pain. If no physical damage can be found, then the brain may be sending out pain signals as a response to stress and trauma, known as "Neuroplastic symptoms". Britney and Doctor Clarke explore this new area of science.
