Are you ready to discover and resolve the root cause of your pain?

The reasons behind chronic pain can be elusive; there is often a complex combination of lifestyle choices, environmental factors, habitual behaviors, and overall emotional well-being — elements that clinicians typically can’t address during brief consultations.

Conventional medicine often focuses on suppressing symptoms with medication and procedures, especially in the absence of a clear diagnosis. But this approach is aimed at treating the symptoms, not the causes, and despite billions of dollars spent on pain management annually, rates of chronic pain continue to rise.

In this webinar, Lillie Rosenthal, DO, a physician specializing in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, will share her detective-like approach to chronic pain, exploring the multitude of factors that can contribute to your symptoms, the practice of whole-person, patient-centered pain management, and the secret ways nutrition can both sabotage — and help save you from — your pain.

What You’ll Learn

  • What’s usually missing from a standard medical visit
  • The most common lifestyle factors contributing to chronic pain
  • How nutrition plays a role in recovery
  • Realistic advice on products like ergonomic chairs and pillows
  • How to advocate for treatments beyond pain med
