Everything you know about pain is wrong

Everyone has experienced physical pain, yet very few people understand it. Have you ever had an injury with no pain at first? Have you ever had pain that lasted longer than expected for a mild injury? Do you know anyone who suffers from chronic pain that affects their life in significant ways? Did you know that an MRI is unlikely to reveal the source of back pain for most people?

Doctors determine the cause of pain every day. Yet doctors have had little training in understanding pain or treating it once it persists past a few months.

In this talk, you will learn:
* Surprising truths about how the brain actually controls all pain. 
* To debunk several myths about chronic pain. 
* How people have fully recovered from chronic pain despite being told that their pain was incurable.
* How to use this information in your life.

You will never think about pain the same way after this provocative, engaging discussion.
