What happens when we take a more complete approach to the problem and try to find different, but convergent, ways of solving it? You are about to know it! In this episode, Dr. Zach Cohen joins us to discuss the effectivity of using a variety of sciences and techniques to reduce the pain; and also talks about the opioid crisis era that we are living in, what are the consequences in people, and what are the health benefits of reducing those opioids to better levels.

Dr. Zach Cohen is double board certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology in both Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine. He completed a Chronic Pain Fellowship at the University of California San Diego, which was recently rated the best chronic pain fellowship in America by the American Academy of Pain Medicine. Dr. Cohen often employs a team approach to helping patients overcome their pain issues, working alongside surgeons, neurologists, physiatrists, and psychologists. He considers himself part of the new age of interventional pain medicine and understands that many patients do not want to be on medications, especially opioids and finds ways to reduce their pain while helping them reduce the use of these medications.
