Dr. Mel Pohl: Chronic Pain and the Mind Body Connection, Oct. 19th

Dr. Mel Pohl will share his vast knowledge of non-pharmacologic alternatives and mind-body medicine approaches in the treatment of chronic pain.

“Your thoughts and emotions are key factors in your experience of chronic pain. This is not to say, in any way, that your pain experience isn’t real, but you must understand the mind-body connection in order to recover. This will be the key to freeing yourself from the protective mechanism by which the brain and nervous system create chronic pain. These protective mechanisms can cause a host of conditions, syndromes, symptoms, and issues associated with inflammation, which results in chronic pain.

Once you discover how to invite repressed emotions to rise to the surface, the body settles into a balanced state that eliminates symptoms triggered in a fight-or-flight mode. Calming the nervous system will be your way out of chronic pain, the key to freeing yourself from the protective mechanisms by which the brain and nervous system create chronic pain.”
