Dr. Howard Schubiner explains chronic pain

Dr. Howard Schubiner explains the concept of chronic pain, and its association with stress, as well as the neurological and physiological mechanisms behind the creation of learned nerve pathways.

While chronic pain can be devastating, it is often not what it seems. Pain can be caused by tissue damage, however many people with stubborn chronic pain have no tissue damage.

Stress and emotional reactions to stressful life events can produce nerve pathways of pain, fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, and depression. These pathways can be reversed.
