Ep31 - "Becoming Aware of Your Body and Pain" With Dr. Ravi Dhanoa

 Did you know the physician is only one tool in the toolbox to fix your pain? Physicians are just one aspect. The rest comes from the patient overcoming their pain and it doesn't have to do with medication! Dr. Ravi Dhanoa joins us on the podcast to talk about his experience with trigger points and how he uses them to solve pain or even recreate the pain. More importantly, he goes into detail about how the patient is capable of overcoming their pain with just a few sessions. The MuscleMD clinic was opened in 2014 by Dr Ravi Dhanoa, a Canadian Family Physician with a special interest in Trigger Point Injection therapy. Dr Dhanoa received his medical degree from Imperial College London (UK) in 2006. He has been practicing medicine in British Columbia since 2009. He initially had a full service Family Practice on Vancouver Island, where he trained in Trigger Point Injection therapy and developed his skills further through working as a pain clinic physician in Vancouver. As well as establishing the MuscleMD Clinic Dr Dhanoa is Clinical Faculty at St Paul’s Hospital, for the Family Medicine Residency Program at the University of British Columbia. He is involved in the training and assessment of International Medical Graduates, Family Practice residents and medical students. He has been invited to speak on myofascial pain and trigger point injection therapy at many pain conferences at a regional and national level.
