Beyond Biology: Neck Up Solutions to Pain Management
Becky Curtis, NBC-HWCAda 3
Why is it so hard to solve chronic pain? We've developed mind-bending technology, and written hundreds of books, published thousands of studies, developed untold numbers of medications, and we have dozens of different surgical interventions that are based on this field of knowledge. Why then, do 50+ million people still have chronic pain? Following a horrific car accident in one of the most remote places in the lower 48, Becky Curtis went on an inner quest to unlock the mystery of chronic pain and give others who suffer a chance to go on the same adventure. In this talk, Becky reveals what she discovered and how her adventure out of pain goes far Beyond Biology.
