In this episode, Dr. David Hanscom continues his discussion with Dr. John Stracks, about how he applies his integrative, mind body approach to treating chronic pain, both in an individual and group setting. He explains that the key first step in the healing process is getting patients to understand what pain is, and that it can have a non-physical dimension. Once they see how stress impacts their pain, and decide to do something about it, healing can begin. For more information, visit: https://www.drstracks.com.
