Ep34 - "Pain As A Measure Of Growth, Not A Limitation" With Chris Goodrich, MD

What if pain is more than just a patient's medical history? It's tied to a patient's overall history including their past experiences, past trauma, relationships with people, lifestyle, and much more. This is what Chris Goodrich breaks down on this podcast where I interview him on the different aspects of the understanding of pain causes and pain management. Chris explains his history with pain, how he overcame it, and what he's doing to help patients to look as pain as potential for growth.
