This week on the Pain Reframed podcast, Dr. David Hanscom joins
Tim Flynn and Jeff Moore to discuss the strategies he uses to help
chronic pain patients, and why recovery is ultimately in the hands
of the patient, not the clinician.
Dr. Hanscom is an orthopedic complex spinal deformity surgeon who
now understands that most chronic pain from any source is solvable
– usually without surgery. He is the creator of the DOC (Direct
your Own Care) program, which is the subject of his book, Back in
Control: A Surgeon’s Roadmap out of Chronic Pain. He also publishes
a weekly blog and maintains a website, www.backincontrol.com, to provide
resources for chronic pain patients and their families. Dr. Hanscom
distinguishes himself from many spine surgeons in that he strongly
encourages non-surgical solutions for his patients, a belief which
stems from his own battle with chronic pain.
