Podcasts about central sensitization

Today, we're tackling a topic that most humans will face at some point in their life: Training with Pain.Whether it's chronic low back pain, a tight shoulder, cranky knees, or just that lingering ache that pops up every time you do squats or reach overhead — pain can be confusing, frustrating, even scary. But here's the truth:Pain is not a stop sign — it's a signal.Today's episode is about helping you understand that pain is part of the process, not the end of it. We'll talk about why pain doesn't always mean damage, how to move through it safely, and how to use it as a tool for progress — not a reason to give up.Resources:Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdCaldera Lab Skin Carewww.calderalab.comDiscount Code: CoachDLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/Citations & Research Links1.

In today's episode, I speak with Dr. Mark Kargela, a seasoned clinician and educator, about chronic pain—its complexity, its impact, and how practitioners can better support patients struggling with it. The discussion focuses on shifting clinical approaches from tissue-centric models to ones that integrate contemporary neuroscience and lived experience. Key topics include: Understanding Chronic Pain: The conversation defines chronic pain not simply by duration (e.g., beyond three months), but as a biopsychosocial phenomenon that fundamentally changes the nervous system. Dr. Kargela emphasizes that chronic pain is often not a direct marker of tissue damage, but a protective output of the nervous system influenced by biology, psychology, and social factors. Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE): Both clinicians stress the importance of PNE in helping patients reframe their pain experience. Teaching people how pain works can reduce fear and catastrophizing, improve self-efficacy, and set the foundation for graded movement and recovery. Central Sensitization and Nervous System Dysregulation: The discussion highlights how sensitized neural pathways can perpetuate pain even in the absence of tissue pathology. Techniques that modulate the nervous system—such as breathing, sleep optimization, gentle movement, and mindfulness—are presented as key therapeutic tools. Limitations of Traditional Biomedical Models: Dr. Kargela critiques overly mechanical approaches that chase tissue “damage” or perfect biomechanics, advocating instead for approaches that validate patient experiences and support behavior change. Clinician Takeaways: The episode encourages health and fitness professionals to: Ask better questions that uncover contributors to a person's pain narrative. Shift from “fixing” people to coaching them toward resilience. Recognize that empathy, listening, and patient-led goals are central to helping people move forward.

This podcast was created using NotebookLM. This podcast explores the claim that repeated short-acting nerve blocks can reset central sensitization in chronic pain. Dr. Glenn Clark argues that this idea is unlikely due to the complex neurobiological changes involved in established chronic pain. Research suggests that while nerve blocks can prevent sensitization, they are less effective at reversing it because central sensitization involves receptor modifications, genetic changes, structural remodeling, and glial activation, which are not easily reversed by temporary input blockage. 

Recent research has been uncovering the complexities of central sensitization and its role in chronic pain conditions. In this episode, the PSA girls explore how central sensitization contributes to pelvic pain and other chronic pain syndromes. They discuss what happens when the nervous system becomes hypersensitive, amplifying pain signals and making everyday sensations feel unbearable. The episode delves into evidence-based strategies for managing central sensitization, including physical therapy and lifestyle adjustments.

✅ Watch the MASTERCLASS on Low Back Pain & Sciatica. https://www.shapeshiftwellness.com/LBP-masterclass .If you have chronic low back pain or sciatica, it's easy to think that the pain is all coming from tissue damage like a disc bulge, a disc herniation, disc degeneration, tight muscles, or a pinched nerve. .Research shows that in most cases of chronic pain, a large portion of the pain is NOT from damage, but rather from inflammation and hypersensitization of the nerves in the spinal cord, through a process called central sensitization. .Central sensitization can make chronic low back pain and sciatica much worse by creating hypersensitivity to normal, non-damaging activities or movements. This is crucial in understanding the difference between safe pain and unsafe pain during chronic low back pain and sciatica rehab. . . #lowbackpain #lowbackpainrelief #lowbackpainexercises #discherniation #sciaticarelief #sciatica #sciaticatreatment

How do you stop caring about what people think of you? How can you let go of the things that keep you from living the life you want? This question is so crippling for so many of us, but there IS a simple solution. In this episode we'll learn how to deal with these feelings in a way that don't consume you and stop you from going on with your life. Plus I'll give you my 7 steps to overcome falling into the trap of caring what people think about you! BUT FIRST! BRAIN FACT:Central Sensitization and chronic pain: the phenomena when there is an enhancement in the function of the neurons and the circuits that are involved in nociceptive pathways causing an echo or remembered pain. It happens because of an increase in membrane excitability and synaptic efficacy. It's a great example for how neuroplasticity works in a negative way and has been linked to chronic pain.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused due to some audio issues in the first uploaded episode. We have fixed the problems, so you can now listen to the relaunched episode without any unexpected volume differences. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Did we get lost in translation with Central Sensitization? Professor Lorimer Moseley dives into the history and today's implications of this important scientific finding.    - Introduction to Central Sensitization: The podcast episode delves into the concept of Central Sensitization and its impact on pain research and education. It's discussed as a significant shift in understanding pain mechanisms. - Historical Context: Clifford Woolf is mentioned as a significant figure in identifying the changes in sensitivity within the central nervous system, sparking extensive research to understand the mechanisms behind it. - Challenges in Terminology and Definition: There's a discussion about the terminology challenges and conflation between physiological events and clinical labels regarding Central Sensitization. The debate revolves around its definition and how it's observed in humans, with attempts made in brain imaging to comprehend its effects. - Complexity of Pain Perception: The discussion highlights the complexity of pain perception, mentioning that the idea of specific labelled neurons in the 'pain pathway' (nociceptive pathways) might not hold true due to the intricacies of the nervous system and individual variability in response to stimuli. - Evolution of Understanding Pain: The talk explores the evolution in understanding pain, moving towards concepts like neuroimmune networks and the acknowledgement of the limitations of defining Central Sensitization, leading to the consideration of new terms such as nociplastic pain for clinical findings.  

So many people come to emergency departments with unexplained recurrent pains, fatigues, gastrointestinal symptoms and more - when there seems like no way we can help them, Dr. Mohabbat offers us some insight into what might be happening and how we can help be a positive experience in these patient's and family's lives.

If you've enjoyed Talking to Teens, we'd love if you could leave us a five-star rating, and if you have time, a review! Many of us picture drug addiction as a vague threat, something that might be a possibility for an unhoused person or party animal but never for our own kids. When we hear concerns about the opioid crisis, we might wave it off as a problem that most likely could never affect us. We typically think that even if kids party a little,–say, experiment with marijuana or alcohol-that they'll probably come out on the other end just fine.But what we don't realize is just how susceptible our kids are to opioid use. Nowadays, traces of opioids are found in marijuana, cocaine, or even candy. They're in millions of medicine cabinets, available on the streets in alarming quantities, and have been prescribed to nearly a third of adults in the United States. If we want our kids to stay safe from the opioid crisis, it's time to educate ourselves–and our kids.To help us wrap our heads around the severity of this crisis, we're talking to Holly Geyer, author of Ending the Crisis: Mayo Clinic's Guide to Opioid Addiction and Safe Opioid Use. Holly is an addiction medicine specialist at the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, Arizona, where she leads the Arizona Opioid Stewardship Program. She's served on several Arizona department of health subcommittees, works with a number of organizations to raise opioid awareness, and lectures nationally on opioid addiction and safe opioid prescribing.In our interview, we're explaining what opioids are and how they affect the human body. We also discuss how we can look for signs of opioid abuse in our kids, and what we can say to kids who might be at risk of an opioid addiction.What Parents Need to Know About OpioidsAs an opioid expert, Holly is often asked: what's the difference between opioids and opiates? In the episode, she explains that opiates are derived from the poppy plant, while opioids are synthetically created to mimic the effects of opiates. To the average person, the terminologies are basically interchangeable, she explains. It is important to remember, however, that opioids are often created in illicit environments, meaning that they're usually not regulated and could be a lot more dangerous than opiates, Holly says.These “painkillers” cause a sense of euphoria and often make us feel as though our troubles are slipping away–until they stop working and our body begins to crave more and more. As our usage grows, so does our tolerance, explains Holly. If taken exactly as prescribed, we might be relatively safe from the serious threat of addiction, but if we crush and snort it, inject it or take more than we're supposed to, the results can be deadly. In fact, opioids are now the leading cause of death for people under 45.How can taking opiods be fatal? Overdose, explains Holly. Overdose occurs when an individual consumes so much of an opioid that they become overly sedated, to the point where they forget to breathe, she says. If you suspect someone is taking opiods and they seem sleepy, cold or unintelligible in their speech, they might be overdosing. In the episode, Holly and I lay out a number of actions we can take if we're presented with an overdosing individual–including an immediate dial of 911 and a dose of naloxone.It's pretty clear that opioid addiction is not something we'd want to encounter, especially in our own families. But how can we actively work towards preventing these tragic outcomes? Holly explains in the episode.How To Tell If Your Teen is At RiskTeen opioid addiction is no joke. Rates of teen opioid use are skyrocketing, Holly explains. If your teen starts using young, has a history of meddling with other substances, deals with mental health issues or experiences chronic pain, the risk is even higher. Even if you've never brought prescription opioids into the house, kids are often exposed when trying a different drug that happens to be laced. So how can we look out for signs that teens are using opioids before it's too late?Holly explains that teens who are using opioids might typically start to become a bit more withdrawn. They may start to appear less engaged in school or other daily activities, and then they may start stealing or disappearing for long periods of time, says Holly. That's when parents may find drug paraphernalia hidden in their sock drawer. Another indicator is the kind of company they keep; if they seem to be hanging around a sketchier crowd, she recommends watching their behavior even more closely.If you've got extra opioids lying around in your cabinet that you're storing for safe-keeping, Holly explains that it's time to get rid of them. Maybe they were prescribed for a surgery or an injury and there's plenty left over that you're keeping for a rainy day–but they've got to go, she explains. Many times, teens start with these easily available pills and move on to harder or less regulated versions. In our interview, we talk about all the ways these pills can be safely destroyed or removed from your home.One of the main ways we can prevent opioid addiction in our kids is by communication and education. In the episode, Holly lays out how we can talk to teens before, during, or after discovering an opioid use.Preventing Opioid AddictionIf we want our kids to steer clear of drug use, the first step is changing the overarching culture and attitude in our homes. If we're practicing a “take pills to solve your problems” mentality around the house whenever something is in pain or not working quite right, we might be unintentionally inflicting an addictive mentality onto our kids. Instead, Holly encourages us to be more of an “approach things heads-on” kind of mentality, where we talk about our issues and find proactive ways to solve them. She and I discuss the significance of this approach further in the episode.Holly also emphasizes the value of reminding teens that no matter how free they might feel, we are always monitoring their behavior. She recommends that we not only keep an eye on our teens, but also they're friends, their behaviors, and if necessary, their phones and physical space. She stresses that today's world isn't quite safe for experimentation the way our adolescence might have been, and how even alcohol or cannabis use could lead to opioid use.In our interview, Holly and I also talk a lot about what to do when we confirm that a teen is struggling with opioid addiction. Sometimes teens are willing to go into rehab and sometimes they aren't, but it's interesting to note that most of the time, the outcome is the same. While recovery is possible, relapse is almost always a part of the process, she says, which can sometimes make treatment options logistically and financially difficult. We talk in depth about treatment options as we dive further into opioid use and abuse education.In the Episode…There's a lot of critical information about opioid use in this week's episode. On top of the topics discussed above, we also talk about: Why opioids actually make chronic pain worse How parents suffer when teens face addiction Why we may be enabling drug use more than we think How opioid use became a crisis in the first place We hope this episode encourages you to learn more about opioid use and abuse.

Endometriosis is associated with pain, migraines, IBS, anxiety, panic and many other symptoms that can be looped into the category of central sensitization. This pathology results in treatment resistant cases, and many frustrating interactions for your patients. We have the tools needed to support this pathology in Naturopathic and functional medicine and today we discuss those approaches. Research DiscussedRaimondo, D., Raffone, A., Renzulli, F., Sanna, G., Raspollini, A., Bertoldo, L., Maletta, M., Lenzi, J., Rovero, G., Travaglino, A., Mollo, A., Seracchioli, R., & Casadio, P.

In this episode, Joe interviews Dr. Devon Christie: Senior Lead of Psychedelic Programs at Numinus, educator at CIIS and Vital, and MAPS-certified MDMA therapist; and Dr. Pamela Kryskow, MD: founding board member of the Psychedelic Association of Canada and Medical Lead of the nonprofit, Roots To Thrive. Christie and Kryskow recently co-authored one of the first papers looking at MDMA for chronic pain, “MDMA-assisted therapy is associated with a reduction in chronic pain among people with post-traumatic stress disorder,” which came about after they received access to MAPS' Phase 2 data from a lead-in PTSD study and noticed significant improvements in pain measurements – something the study was not looking for at all. They're looking into where chronic pain fits within the frameworks of Western medicine and psychedelic-assisted therapy, and discuss the many reasons why MDMA should be tremendously helpful for chronic pain and other conditions that fall under the large umbrella of central sensitivity syndromes and nociplastic pain. They are currently working on a new study following the MAPS protocol that will research MDMA-assisted psychotherapy specifically for people with fibromyalgia, which some believe might be physicalized PTSD. If you'd like to contribute a tax-deductible donation, visit giving.viu.ca, select “other” from the dropdown, and type in “MDMA for Fibromyalgia.” They talk about how research trials focus too much on the molecule while ignoring what the patient is saying; how a large percentage of physicians and patients don't at all like the psychometrics used in measuring data; how physicians regularly use expectancy bias but research trials don't (and how that affects results); why everyone needs to place higher importance on the biopsychosocial model; the idea of being more humble with science and using “theoretical” more often; the problems with microdosing trials; and the issues with evidence: If there isn't sufficient evidence, why isn't there? And what exactly would be sufficient? www.psychedelicstoday.com  

I've always been fascinated by pain. We can't see it. We can't measure it with a test.  And in a medical world where we barely listen to the patient experience - this presents a big problem.  The other problem with pain (well, one of the other problems) is that when pain lasts a long time, our brains change.  And in a medical world where you wait months for support - this presents another big problem.  Today's podcast is about pain and I'm joined by Dr. Kirstie Grifiths, a Chiropractor and yogi (who you can find at @thechiropracticyogi who is on a mission to help people understand the red light, yellow light and green light around movement and body pain. There are moments where pain is a red flag (STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING) and there are many moments where pain is a green or yellow light (keep going!). Patients are often educated to stop moving when they have any pain - which increases the likelihood of exercising less over time (and further worsening their pain)   You can see the problem.    We have an amazing conversation about chronic pain, how pain changes your brain and how to know when to keep moving despite your pain.    Kirstie has multiple offerings for patients looking to reduce their back pain that can be found here (free yoga for back pain) and here (Online yoga for back pain program) or you can grab them from her Instagram profile at @thechiropracticyogi https://www.instagram.com/thechiropracticyogi/   

We chat about the joys of celebrating in sports and big hits, how to properly order pizza for your kids birthday parties and how to best reheat that pizza.

Lately we're hearing a lot about so-called "central sensitization" of the nervous system as an explanation for chronic pain. Is it real? Is it an excuse to keep people in pain away from treatments like opioids, or even to blame us for our pain? Today, Dr Andrea Trescot joins us from Jacksonville, Florida, with the 411. As past president of the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians, past pain fellowship director at the Universities of Florida and Washington, and now CMO of Stimwave, a wireless stimulation company, Dr Trescot takes pain pretty seriously. While she continues to see patients in Florida and Alaska, she never stops speaking and writing about pain treatment. Dr Trescot has written 150+ articles and edited three textbooks about it, and, for patients, has co-authored PainWise: A Patient's Guide to Pain Management.

Central sensitization is the brain's way of keeping us safe. The brain's "smoke alarm" becomes overly sensitive and makes us feel pain when there is no actual tissue damage. Basically the brain lies to us and this lie can reduce function and quality of life. Pain education and mind-body techniques can decrease central sensitization, calm the nervous system back down and reduce pain. Here are some tips for how to teach patients about central sensitization.To hear about upcoming integrative palliative educational programs sign up at www.tiipm.orgWhen your patient is crying do you know just what to do?

Stefan is a NYC based artist who saw his entire future crash before his very eyes. It all started with tendonitis in his forearm but little did he know that pain was just the beginning. Central Sensitization Syndrome is a condition of the nervous system that is associated with the development and maintenance of chronic pain. What began with pain in the arm led Stefan down a long and arduous road that eventually led him to the Mayo Clinic where he received a diagnosis, and eventually the methods needed to manage his pain. Now back on the stage, Stefan is building up his dreams once again. This conversation was a highlight episode and we hope you enjoy!

Today I'm speaking with the man behind the newest online course Central Sensitization - Jo Nijs - member of the famed Pain In Motion research group. We talk about central sensitization - the pillars behind the approach that the PIM group utilise, wider aspects of research and environmental aspects that can influence the pain response and recovery such as diet and sleep and how you can take that directly into practise along side your graded exercise/exposure program as well as tackling patient beliefs.

Central sensitization (CS) describes pathophysiologic changes in the central nervous system, including alterations in neurochemistry, CNS receptors, endogenous opioid system hyperactivity, cytokine and HPA axis dysregulation, and sympathetic hyperactivity. Collectively, these changes result in amplification of pain and sensory signals, leading to widespread pain, fatigue and other sensory sensitivities. Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome are established diagnoses/manifestations of central sensitization. In the era of the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to learn about Post-Acute COVID-19 Syndrome, a manifestation of central sensitization similar to other post-infectious forms of CS, which underlies the persistent symptoms that many people experience after initial recovery from COVID-19. Elizabeth C. Wight, M.D. joins us to talk about Mayo Clinic's treatment approach to central sensitization, which is rooted in empowering patients with education and a framework for a self-management program. This includes stress management, moderation, positive thinking, decreasing focus on symptoms, sleep hygiene, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among others.

Hi! Welcome to That's So Chronic. Today I am chatting with Bianca Smeekes from Neurospark. On the 22 of February 2011, Bianca was in the city during the horrific Christchurch Earthquake. Following this she was diagnosed with vulvodynia, fibromyalgia, and central sensitization syndrome - all very generalised diagnoses. In this episode Bianca shares her health journey, breaks down what those diagnoses mean, how she took control of her pain, and then she helps me understand what on earth Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and the Lightning Process is all about, as well as the work she does with Neurospark. I mention this in the episode, but I would not have been able to have this conversation even 18 months ago. It's only now after interviewing so many incredible people for That's The Chronic that I have a bit more of an open mind and am willing to talk about neurological pain in the way Bianca explains. Find out more about Bianca and Neurospark at @neuro.spark on instagram, or at neurospark.co.nz I'm curious… Have you ever tried NLP or Lightning Process? Or perhaps you just have something to say? Feel free to message me on instagram @thatssochronic I would love to hear from you! @thatssochronic | @jessssbrien | #thatssochronic If you liked this episode, don't forget to subscribe, leave a review, and tell everyone you know!

Today's podcast will look at the forces that drive persistent pain. In Session 6 we started the conversation about Neuro Inflammation and Central Sensitization. Today we will discuss pain protective behaviours as well as the messengers that contribute to ongoing pain.

We are exploring how to explain central sensitization to patients using pain neuroscience education with physiotherapist, Eva Huysmans. Eva graduated with a Master's Degree in Physiotherapy and is in the middle of her PhD work. She is working on a randomized controlled trial investigating the effect of perioperative pain neuroscience education for patients undergoing surgery for lumbar radiculopathy. To date, Eva has co-authored over twenty peer-reviewed publications and a manual on pain neuroscience education for the clinician. Next to her research activities, she's working as a physiotherapist in the University Hospital in Brussels, where she helps people cope with chronic pain. During this episode, you'll learn how to recognize central sensitization in clinical practice. How do you objectively evaluate central sensitization? Why are people with central sensitization not the only ones who need pain neuroscience education? All about the introduced term, nociplastic pain. Finally, where does pain neuroscience education fit into a treatment program and how should it be delivered? She has created manuals for clinicians to use pain neuroscience education. As part of this episode, she is providing you with a free download of a pain neuroscience education slide deck that you can use with your patients. To download this slide deck for free, all you have to do is text the word, 169DOWNLOAD, to the number, 44222 or IntegrativePainScienceInstitute.com/169Download. Let's learn all about central sensitization with Eva Huysmans.

Did you now that pain isn't centralized? We don't have a center of pain. We have a process called Central Sensitization. Mariana Vera joins us today to talk about all the parts of the brain becoming more sensitive to stimuli, how acute pain transitions over time to chronic pain (Chronification), and what Hydrotherapy can do for you. ABOUT TODAY'S GUEST - Mariana Arias Avila Vera Mariana Arias Avila Vera received her Ph.D. in Physical Therapy from Federal University of São Carlos (Brazil) in 2014. She is currently Assistant Professor in the Physical Therapy Undergraduate and Graduate Program at Federal University of São Carlos, member of the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) and Aquatic Physical Therapy International (APTI).

Central sensitization is a condition that occurs within the nervous system that contributes to a wind-up effect within the pain system, causing the nervous system to stay in a persistent state of reactivity. This persistent state lowers the threshold for what causes pain and contributes to a persistent state of pain even after the initial injury might have healed. Central sensitization has two main characteristics, both of which involve a heightened sensitivity to pain and the sensation of touch. They are called allodynia and hyperalgesia.

Central Sensitization, Opioid Tapering, and Educational Support Chronic pain involves a complex process, with an underlying pathophysiology that is now understood to involve a sensitized state. Understanding the etiology is essential to selecting appropriate treatment modalities. It is also essential to educate patients in a way that can be understood and incorporated into their lives and treatment plans. In this session, cases will be used to highlight clinical decision making and pain management options for patients experiencing chronic pain and central sensitization. We will focus on tapering opioids as part of this management plan, discuss how to taper and which supportive measures assist in developing an effective taper, including best practices around the use of nonopioid analgesics and withdrawal management, as well as effective patient education and programming. (Recorded at PAINWeek 2018)

By now, we should all be aware of the prevalence of chronic pain. Astonishingly though, few people are aware of the central pathophysiology of why people develop chronic pain. Central sensitization is one of the key processes in which chronic pain persists. In this presentation, we will explore central sensitization, what it is, what it means, and what can be done to reduce it. We will also discuss ketamine, which has emerged as one of the most useful compounds currently available to mitigate central sensitization. This staple lecture at PAINWeek is a must for anyone who wants to learn about central pain conditions. Dr. Joshi, the presenter of this lecture, helped create the current outpatient protocols and philosophies on outpatient ketamine infusions. Ketamine as a treatment is becoming more popular. This lecture will help you learn top level information from one of the leading experts with ketamine infusions and central sensitization in the country so you can help your patients and evaluate legitimate ketamine infusion centers.

Neuropsychoanalysis is the latest and most exciting revolution in psychoanalysis where the classical psychoanalytic constructs of theory of mind, subconscious, transference and other, are finding their neural correlates. Join us for the interesting show with Dr. W. Scott Griffies M.D., DFAPA. Dr. Griffies is currently an Associate Professor of Psychiatry with Duke Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and the Medical Director of the Psychosomatic Medicine service at Duke Raleigh Hospital. He is boarded in General Psychiatry, Psychosomatic Medicine and is certified in psychoanalysis from the New Orleans Psychoanalytic Institute. He recently relocated to Duke from New Orleans where he was faculty at LSU Department of Psychiatry and Psychosomatic Medicine Fellowship for over 15 years. His main academic and clinical interest has been in the treatment and understanding of psychosomatic patients. While at LSU, he won numerous teaching awards and worked and directed services predominantly focused on psychiatric aspects of medical and surgical patients. He also served as the LSU Psychiatry Residency Director for 8 years through Hurricane Katrina. His most recent publication was “Non-mentalizing and Non-symbolizing Psychic Functions and Central Sensitization in Psychosomatic Patients”in From Soma to Symbol: Psychosomatic Conditions and Transformative Experiences, edited by Phyllis Sloate.  

Central pain conditions are difficult to treat. What is worse, many central pain conditions are misdiagnosed or mistreated. Conditions such as depression, anxiety, trigeminal neuralgia, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), various neuropathies, phantom limb pain, postherpetic neuralgia, fibromyalgia, PTSD, and others can be very responsive to ketamine infusions. There have been many infusion protocols out there with variable results. We will discuss various conditions, the infusion, and the results we have seen.

Psychosomatic conditions include fibromyalgia and other chronic functional pain conditions. These are traditionally hard to treat. In this show, neuropsychoanalysis offers a fresh, effective, and interesting approach to address mind and body.    W.
