Chronic back pain and the opioid crisis

Chronic back pain is a debilitating condition that affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide.

For decades, opioids were prescribed to manage the intense discomfort associated with back pain. However, the opioid crisis, driven by overprescription and misuse, has led to widespread addiction and devastating consequences.

At the same time, new clinical perspectives on back pain provide a revolutionary understanding that stress and psychological factors may be at the root of much of the pain - and that you can potentially become pain-free without resorting to drugs or surgery.
