    7 LIES You've Been Told About Chronic Pain

    If you've been living with chronic pain for months — or years — chances are someone in a position of authority has told you at least one of these 7 things.   And that advice might be the exact reason you're still stuck.   In this episode, Mike Carroll — Licensed Massage Therapist, Strength Coach, and Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT) Practitioner at Uplift Licensed Massage Therapy Wellness PLLC in Kingston, NY — breaks down the 7 biggest myths about chronic pain that the medical system has handed down to millions of people who deserve better answers.   This isn't about blaming your doctors. It's about understanding why a system built for volume — 15-minute appointments, cookie-cutter protocols, and diagnosis codes that treat everyone the same — consistently fails the people who need individualized, root-cause care the most.   In this episode, you'll learn:   🔍 Why pain is NOT a damage meter — and what it actually is (this one changes everything)   🔍 Why your MRI or X-ray result is not your destiny — and what imaging can and cannot tell you about your pain   🔍 The truth about tight muscles — and why blindly stretching them can actually make your pain significantly worse   🔍 Why the site of your pain is often NOT the source of your pain — and the real reason treating only the painful area almost never works long-term   🔍 Why "failing" physical therapy says nothing about your prognosis — and everything about the quality and specificity of the care you received   🔍 Why being told to stop doing the things you love may be triggering a cycle that makes your pain worse over time   🔍 Why "just learning to live with it" is not a medical conclusion — and what modern neuroscience says about your nervous system's ability to change   Whether you've tried PT, chiropractic, injections, massage, or surgery — and still haven't found lasting relief — this episode is for you.   The information in this episode is grounded in current pain science literature and 8+ years of clinical experience working with people who had already "tried everything" before finding a different path forward.   Ready to stop guessing and get a real answer?
