Series: Drug Free Pain Management
with Guest Dr. Amy Baxter, MD FAAP FACEP
Estimates that 20% of adult Americans (50 million) suffer with chronic pain. Chronic pain is one of the top reasons people seek help from doctors today. It's such a huge problem that it is the single factor that has fueled the opioid epidemic. Almost 90% of opioid addicts reported they started their journey to addition seeking relief from chronic pain. Are there alternatives to drugs?

Show Notes:
Series: Drug Free Pain Management
[00:05:10] Dr Amy explains when she became interested in possibly helping people manage pain without opioids.
[00:08:05] Carl shares a personal story.
[00:09:40] Dr Amy responds in detail to a question of Carl’s on if people could get off the opioids early before the addictive neurological brain changes actually take place. She also expounds on a device she invented – called Buzzy
[00:13:25] The discussion turns to the addictive genetic predisposition some individuals have and if epigenetics have any correlation.
[00:18:25] Why is there a perception that when pain medication wears off the rebound pain is greater than the original pain? Dr Amy responds with interesting facts.
[00:23:00] There are 12 different areas of the brain that are all involved in how you process pain. Depending on whether or not you're a chronic pain person or an acute pain person, it's handled completely differently in the brain. Now we're understanding that you need to give people options.
[00:23:46] Carl wonders what LSD would do with pain because of synesthesia. Dr Amy joins in – tune in!
[00:29:56] A great deal of this drug free approach works similar to dealing with emotional trauma as well.
- understanding where the feelings are coming from
- parsing the feelings
- knowing and having patterns of behavioral therapy that can address them.
[00:30:55] Pain is your brain's opinion of how safe you are. Pain is an emotion. It is just a matter of knowing what kinds of techniques to start with to address as you build up the ability to ignore and move past pain.
[00:35:45] Dr Amy articulately shares how she decided to move forward and try to create a natural approach to managing pain – you don’t want to miss this ?

[01:04:44] Dr Amy replies in detail and factually to a question of a listener regarding relief of pain and swelling after a knee replacement. Carl joins in.
