Pain Reframed is on location, this week, at South College in Knoxville, TN. Dr. Tim Flynn and Dr. Jeff Moore are joined by Dr. Louie Puentedura. Last week’s episode with Dr. Tim Tollestrup generated significant, and even passionate, discussion on what Dr. Tollestrup talked about (is there a role for peripheral interventions in tackling persistent pain). Dr. Puentedura has extensive knowledge in this area as well, so Tim, Jeff, and Louie dive deeper into what was discussed last week to bring even more clarity to the topic. They also bring an “and, not or” call to action while discussing necessary strategies for treating patients with chronic pain in coordination with what was discussed last week.

Welcome back to another episode of Pain Reframed! This week, Dr. Tim Flynn and Dr. Jeff Moore are talking with Dr. Tim Tollestrup, a peripheral nerve surgeon in Las Vegas. Tim reached out to Jeff and Tim after hearing some episodes of Pain Reframed in order to bring a different perspective stating that sometimes the issue is “in the tissue.” His perspective fosters some healthy debate and discussion to provide slightly different treatments based on his experiences with his patients. It’s a fantastic discussion that you can learn a significant amount from and also have your viewpoints challenged in a healthy way.

Welcome back to another episode of Pain Reframed! This week, Dr. Tim Flynn and Dr. Jeff Moore are chatting with John Gribbin, who is the CEO of CurableHealth.com, a technology company that’s built around providing high-quality neuro education to individuals suffering from persistent pain. Curable is built by a team of people who have suffered and still suffer from persistent pain, so they know what to provide for those patients suffering today. The science to reframe pain is out there, but unfortunately not accessible to most of society. As a result, Tim, Jeff, and John will discuss what Curable does and how we can integrate it into our practices.

Today on Pain Reframed, Dr. Andrew Rothschild joins Dr. Jeff Moore and Dr. Tim Flynn. Andrew shares his story with extensive severe and chronic pain as a patient and also, now, from a PT perspective. Andrew’s experience with pain as a patient was not, unfortunately, the best experience and, as a result, caused him to train to become a PT to do things differently and, as he puts it, better. It’s a powerful story and contains numerous nuggets along the way worth heeding and applying to our lives as PT’s and/or patients suffering from chronic pain.

Dr. Belisa has taught and lectured nationwide on topics related to dysfunctional breathing patterns and stress, addressing both physical and psychological problems related to oxygenation that is out of balance, and teaching people to breathe in an anatomically congruous way that maximizes balanced inhales and exhales.
