INSPIRE #541: HOW TO RELEASE CHRONIC PAIN & BACK PAIN – FOR GOOD!!! + Meditation!

Dr. David Hanscom on How to Release Chronic Pain & Back Pain – For Good!!! + Guided Meditation!

SHOW INTRODUCTION:

If you’ve ever struggled with chronic pain or back pain, or thought surgery was the only answer, then do we have the Back in Control show for you.

Today I’ll be talking with Dr. David Hanscom, a complex-deformity spine surgeon of over thirty years, and the best-selling author of Back in Control: A Surgeon’s Roadmap Out of Chronic Pain, 2nd Edition.

And that’s just what I want to talk with him about today, about a roadmap to get out of chronic pain, and WITHOUT surgery.

That plus we’ll talk OCD and panic attacks, shopping for used cars, jumping off cornices, migraines and the Fourth of July, flat tires and labeling, how not to think of white bears, and what in the world we can learn from your daughter Jaz, a tango party, and 20 dollars.
