How to release chronic pain for good!

If you’ve ever struggled with chronic pain or back pain or thought surgery was the only answer then we have a show for you.

Today I’ll be talking with Dr. David Hanscom, M.D., a complex-deformity spine surgeon of over 30 years and the best-selling author of Back in Control: A Surgeon’s Roadmap Out of Chronic Pain, now in its second edition.

I talk with him about the roadmap to get out of chronic pain WITHOUT surgery. Plus we talk OCD, panic attacks, shopping for used cars, jumping, migraines, the 4th of July, flat tires, labeling, how not to think about white bears, what in the world we can learn from his daughter Jaz, a tango party, and $20.

DR. DAVID HANSCOM

Dr. Hanscom is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon specializing in all areas of the spine. He has expertise in adult and pediatric spinal deformities such as scoliosis and kyphosis. A significant part of his practice was devoted to performing surgery on patients who had had multiple prior spine surgeries. He works for Swedish Neuroscience Specialists in Seattle, WA.
